If I ran the thrift store you'd have dug out a $100 and I'd have kept dam near all of it ...Excellent quality , look how thick the anvil area is !!

Thats a nice vise and you couldn't beat the price. I have a 30 year old ridgid vise that looks just like it..

The NEW prices I see online range from $250-$850. If this is a $850 model I want to do something for her. I told her probly $250 when I got it from her, but she still wouldn't take the whole $20. Is there anyway to tell the differance.
You can't do any better than that, I have a similar columbian, red too, paid $30 for it, made a special trip after work, I like this brand in a vice. I have another one that dwarfs this one, huge, was on the work bench of our ford tractor dealership, still has the blue paint. I like the face that the jaw pieces are replaceable, and that big one sure is heavy.
I got one back in the 70's just about like it, same name but mine says ALL STEEL on the side of it. When I have a broken piece to weld back together and it has more pieces than I got hands, I can tack weld to the vise and then just grind off the tack after welding the rest of it together. I had a friend that had a real nice Parker. I told him I wanted to buy it. He traded it to a fellow who lived about 75 miles away. I went there and bought it too. If you want an all steel vise, get one of those old blacksmith vises that go down to the floor. ohfred41

Looks like one of the budget models they came out with to compete against the Wilton's. It's a step down from their old line but it's still a decent vice. Don't have a clue as to value but as long as you and sis are happy it's all good.
