Will be a working tool when its been sorted.

I'd make a set of jaws for it art. I'm never that keen on the knurled jaws for 90% of what I use it for. Couple of steel or stainless ones made up would be nice.

Is that the late 1700's vice mate?

 

[arther dailey]

Well soaked it for a few hours, put the grips on the rotating lock nut, it came undone easily, thought this is to good to last..put small wedge in and hey presto rotates fine, so quick strip and clean, and couple jaws it will be ready to work, or should I make it nice,polish paint ,later maybe to much on at the moment, so well chuffed with the little fella, oh yes it unwinds super smooth and thread looks like new,Ye!one happy Arther.

Yes it is, but obviously it isnt ,as I explained to the bloke look up bessemer on google if memory serves me correct its mid 1800 he made the first steel, well I wasnt going to say any more than that, I offered a price ,he went up a bit and we were both happy. more so me now I have freed it off and its working!

Aye, I commented a bit before that it'd be pig iron! Sounds great, can't beat new toys

thats a fine vice there, a good buy.
there was a lad on here that gave 1200 odd iirc for something similar...

 

[macandmoss]

WOW ...nice vice , I wouldn't paint it just polish it up with a wire wheel , wish I could find one like that , nice find

 

[arther dailey]

Thankyou Guys, yes I am over the moon with it, and it is nice to have a little victory been a long while coming.
so suprised it freed of so easily. anyways GOOD luck to you on your hunting ,it was also uncanny that a friend lived just around the road and was coming down this way, so he collected and delivered it , return favour as I collected a set of wheels for him and stored untill he came down, all the stars aligned today!!Arther

Just had a good look at this mines the one that should have the file rack on the back, I wondered what the extra holes were for, any idea of the year of the catalogue?

Is this worth buying for £25.
Needs new replacement jaws, the screws drilled out and rethreaded and a bit welded on for the jaws to sit on.
Could I get away without reattaching the wee lip?
