Bench vice upgrade

[KingAether]

For the wonderful price of £8 and a 30 minute walk carrying it home i finally upgraded from my #51 junior to its bigger, stronger brother; a 1940's #52½.
Happy day!

I think you've earned it carrying (17kg?) and walking with it for half an hour!

Wow good catch!!!

Good price too, if it’s fully functiona.

That's a steal if you compare with the stupid prices some are charging on ebay.

That it is; covered in surface rust but from the threads i imagine it never saw a lot of use, pristine for being 80~ years old

Very good score for the money.
That small vice can make an OK end vice if you dont have one already.
Regards
John

If you're doing a restoration job on it some before and after photos would be nice.
