What's the model number? These are very sought after (almost on par with Wiltons). Beautiful vise!

Hello all,

I joined up here a couple years ago when I was thinking of buying a Cruiser. Long story short it didn't work out. I spend a lot of time on the "other" vise forum. I just spotted this one today. It's nice to see some new stuff! I thought I'd post up a few of mine to share with the group!
 
that Craftsman Art Deco one a bit above is too pretty to use!
 
@Mr Wonderful Welcome to the thread. Those are some quality pieces! Love the Reedsman and the 205. That Hollands is a BEAST!

Ya that Hollands was my first "big" vise. I tried to go all out on it with the stand. The Reedsman was a really lucky find as well. The same guy at the same garage sale a year earlier sold me this 5197, a Morgan 60 and a wilton cadet all in the same afternoon.

@RUSH55 that is a really nice Craftsman. I have one around here in my pile but it's in pretty rough shape.

You have to be quick around here to get a deal on a vise ahead of @Mr Wonderful

Thanks! It’ll be kind of on par with buying a “new” vise as opposed to what the norm has been so far, which is some broken or well used beater that has a couple minor “issues”.
There was another 5195 on the ‘Bay, which looked pretty well used, and only slightly less than this beauty. In my head, there wasn’t much of a debate.

From the looks of the last few pages of this thread you are no stranger to landing some nice iron yourself! Here's a couple more pictures i have. I swear I wont keep clogging up the thread:). This first one is an all steel plate welded Columbian. The last few are my "on deck" pile waiting for some attention. Even a tiny Reed 102. I had to use the same drill collar fix that @FARMAN33 used earlier.

Yes, I've managed to grab a few deals over the years. At this point the deal has to be good and it has to be close or I'll leave it for the next guy.
 
@TomH I saw a few vises scattered around out at the Thorp fruit stand/antique mall. 2 vendors had anvils out there as well. I didn't get any pictures, as the prices were not very good, and they were common and/or badly re-painted.
 
methinks this deserves a bench all of its own...!
 
you're not actually going to use this beauty, right?
