Bought this on ebay And am going to restore this thing, Think I paid a little to much $225... Would love to know any information on this if anyone can tell me anything. Jaws are 3 1/2" wide, Says Chicago Wilton USA on Side

Before:






After Grinding/Sanding the Face area to get rid of some deep grind/cut marks




Date on Bottom:

Under Swivel base:



Taken apart:

Swivel Nuts seem to be made of Brass?:


Houston We Have a problem The pins are still in the housing and the rear cone if you will is busted around the casting and the rear cap just slid right off, due to the pins not connected to anything and the pin is broke in 4 pieces. not sure what I am going to do:




Getting ready to blast:



Will post pictures of the rest as I complete it, if anybody has any ideas on where to get a replacement end cap with pins let me know.

Is it normal for the side of the vise to Say #6 and under the swivel base is says #4 or is it just a base from a different vise? After Blasting
