Wilton machinist vise.

Hi,
I inherited a wilton vise. I can not find info about it anywhere on the internet so I think it's vintage. It has a 4.5 inch jaw, opens to 8inches. On the bottom of the base there is the number 101081. And in the side is 101033. How much is it worth? Why is there 2 numbers? Thank you!

Got a picture?

I suspect those numbers are individual casting part numbers. I have one that has several different numbers - one on each component.

Sounds like you have a 4 1/2 inch Wilton "bullet" machinists vise. Very desirable model.
If you pull the moveable jaw completely out, you can usually find a date stamped into the bottom of the slide.
How about posting a few pics?

It looks like a creampuff. I'd say conservatively $250-350. Check Ebay sold listings.

That thing ain't worth $2.00. Send it to me and I'll take care of it for you. Just kidding. That thing looks to be in great shape. Plus the additional three sets of jaws. Good luck.

Multi posting is not cool

Looks like NOS... the extra jaws and work piece protectors are priceless....
