Hi Folks,
This post is regarding two vises I have - to promote discussion on old machinist vises. Often a tool that gets overlooked in the cast and class of tools, yet so essential to everyday work, and indeed, the restoration of other tools. I'd love to read about any knowledge of history, folklore or background stories of either model and brands my vises. I'd also love to see any vises you are fond of and why. Show us a big one, show us a small one.
Now, the first small vise is a number 023 1/2 made by A.M&F Co Athol Mass. The Athol company, as many of you are aware, later merged with Starrett.
The second vise is my joy. Yes, a beautiful Charles Parker No. 87.
Both vises have a 3.5inch wide jaw, yet considerably different in size.
Let me know your thoughts, folks.
Regards,
Raymond J.B
P.s If anyone has a Wilton bullet vise here in Aus, show all of us!
