After cleaning with simple green, brake cleaner and some wheel bearing grease on the threads, it looks good. No need to clean it up more. It’s a working vice, not a show vice.
I checked the warranty date on the bottom and it’s a 1962 model. Three years younger than me. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1667427297.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1667427297.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1667444176.jpg |

Congrats on the great score with the Wilton! I'd pay that as the price of admission to the guy's shop, very cool, could spend hours there, and especially peppering him with questions. Image all that that guy knows. |
Only $150? An absolute bargain. It will serve you well as long as needed....then hopefully go on to serve another well.

My worst vice is beer.
I guess pretty women should be mentioned also. |
My worst vice is not my Vise...

I broke an old parker and for a long time i used a modern one I dont know the brand maybe Irwin but it broke too. They are not made for sledge hammering. I know this now. But I bought a Woden vice used and it has served me well for many years. Since then Iv collected a bunch whenever they are available from garage sales and such. Now iv got like 8 or 10 various sizes and brands waiting their turn to do work.

I bought one of these in 2006 for $50. It’s still working perfectly. |
I should’ve gotten a better picture, but this is a manual time clock from a textile mill way back when. That dial in the front had a rod that corresponded to a number on the dial. You spun the indicator to the your employee number, pushed it in, a bell rang and it punched a paper cylinder with your in an out time. The accountant would remove the paper cylinder once a week.

^^^ The only problem I saw was that it only went up to number 32. So, you either had a max of 32 employees or you had multiple machines.

I got this one about a year or so ago from Amazon, $200.00 ish. haven't broken it yet. I know its not the original , but it has been handdy with all the swivel features.

Old Wiltons are top notch vices and sought after.
If you have endless hours go on Garagejournal. |
I used to enjoy going to old farm auctions. I got an old Wilton for $10 a few years ago. I was looking for an anvil, but never found one that went for less than $50, so I passed. I always enjoyed farm auctions and might try to get back to going to them again. They are good for old tools and such.
