Offered is a Rare Hard to Find. This vise is in excellent, cleaned. (lightly sand blasted off all paint splatters and years of grease and grime build up). Opens and closes easily (1 finger), and swivels properly.
I lightly lubed the screw when I put it back together. There is no date stamp on the slide key. The jaws are smooth machinist jaws and close tightly and squarely.
I believe this vise is an early Version Two production. For the unstamped 1941 to 1944 Wilton vises, there are four variations I'm aware of. The earlier two versions of vises will have Wilton Tool Corp on the right side with a line that loops underneath from the first to last letters. The left side will say Wilton Vise No X with X being a number like 3 or 4 that coincides with the jaw width. The right side logo on one version will also have the line looping from the first to last letters, but will have Pat Pend Made in USA in the middle of the bottom of the loop. The second version will have Pat Pen USA with a notch in the body and a large space between Pen and USA in the middle of the bottom of the loop.
