Record Vice Dating

[Matt Wood]

Hi All,

I recently purchased another old Record Vice (Number 25) and am looking to try and work out roughly when it was produced. From my research i believe that its definitely from pre 1960 from the shape of the lead screw.

Here are the pictures i have taken,

The info important info i have gathered (at least i think) is such; The bracket for the quick release has square headed screws. There is a '0'(zero) stamped onto the bottom which can be seen in the first picture. It has a 'meatball' shaped end to the lead screw. The end of the lever has a spannable ring that i assume was from manufacturing to allow them to slide it through the lead screw.

Other than this i am in the dark as for when this could have been produced.

If anyone has any information that would be great!

Thanks

Matt

Hello Matt.
There's another thread on vises running at the moment.
https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/book-on-vices.125485/There's a couple of good links on there including a link to Nabs' blog(? is that the right word?) page about them. the Record 52 1/2 vice - the small workshop
Might interest you. Might help to link to your thread in the one above.
Can't help personally but I'm sure someone will be along soon. There's definitely some interested parties on here. Welcome btw.
