Wilton Vise Identification

[Norwegian845]

Hello all,
I struggle with Wilton Vise identification on the regular. I have three that I am trying to refurbish but if you call JPW Industries they are no help.

The first vise I believe is a 746A,


The second Is maybe an 880M.

I am not sure on the third. It needs to be buffed.

The third one is a C1. I'm pretty sure you're right about the first one. I can't say for sure on the second. Welcome to GJ!

That's because anyone who knew anything has either been "right sized" or retired.

The 2nd vise is a "Mechanics Pro", first seen in the 2019 Wilton catalog and also in the 2021 Wilton catalog, illustrated below.



I'm pretty sure parts are still available for this vise.

What is the jaw width on the one we thinkin’ is an “880m?” Might be.

Had the label plate stating “Mechanics Pro” not been present, this low swoop profile on the jaw design (less rounded line the 746 & c1) is indicative of the series aesthetic.
