screws have been put in professionally
It might just be the pic, but the nearer bolt in this looks to be off on the horizontal plane?

That's really cool.
I bought one of the baby bullet vise's back in the mid 1970's when they were nothing special. Who would have thought they would become a holy grail of collector items and command such outrageous prices ?

Use a real vintage lace doily, paper is not worthy enough.Nice - will have to sort out the lacework for some of my smaller vices - obviously a paper doily won't do for a baby Wilton.

I'm afraid it's been a while since my hair has seen any sort of product. These days the only thing I put on my head in is a cap to stop my scalp getting sun burn.antimacassar is to stop your hair-oil spoiling the sofa - mind boggles

I picked up the vice that a client had got for me. Looks like a Parkinsons and from the dimensions, 4" jaws with a 6" opening it would be a Model F No7.

I’m picking up a blasting pot on Monday so will be stripping the paint off it as well the Record 36. Both will get a repainted the correct colours.Great gnarly old vice. Love the paint.
nice vices - hope the sand-blast isn't too aggressive -- can you control it well enough to remove paint. not detail?
