The jaws open to a max working capacity of 4.5" and weighs 12 lbs.  The jaws are 4" wide.  Fresh grease applied to the handle screw to ensure smooth operation.  Color is
ocean breeze
, 4 coats of paint.  Lettering was done with a gold paint pen.
Flat back anvil work piece measures 2" x 2.25"
I made a new set of replacable jaws since the old ones were too bad off to reuse.  I did the cross hatches with a dremel and I am quite aware they are not perfect but they do the trick and will provide for a good grip on whatever you need to clamp down.
I do not have a base for this vise.  Price reflects the missing base.  It would need a 4" base.  I'm trying to get my hands on some but it is difficult to find just the swivel bases for these vises.
Jaws were mirror polished on the top inside and sides.
Examine all pics please!
This is a nice small vise for light duty work.  It would look great in your shop, garage, work bench, or wherever you keep your tool collection.  Great for arts and crafts, small hobby work, etc. when you need a third hand to get a tight grip on something you're working on.  Great for hobbists, knife makers, jewlery makers, etc.
No putty or mud was used in the restoration of this vise.  I do my best to grind off some of the casting marks on the backs of the jaws whenand if they need it but that's about it.  I do not believe in using body filler or putty on a vise.  I strip it down to raw metal, grind down all the marks and gouges on the top of the jaws for polishing, and that's about it before acetone and paint.  Polished parts are raw metal.
Shipping will be USPS Priority Mail either flat rate or regional rate box depending on buyer's location.  The vise will be well padded to prevent damge in shipping.
