Vise made in Chicago, ILL

POWRARM made in Schiller Park, ILL

This is a work of art and a piece of history.

Wilton stamped 1-72 on keyway, that puts the manufacture date at January 1972.

Moves smoothly, jaws come together perfect.

No cracks or repairs. The upper base of the powrarm does not seem to be original, however it looks, fits and operates just fine.

Excellent condition. It has been completely restored. Please take a close look at the pictures.

The vise was completely disassembled, painted, cleaned, sandblasted, primed and given several coats of hammered paint.

All other metal surfaces were cleaned, wire brushed and polished.

Grease was added to the parts needing it and the vise was reassembled.

The adjusting mechanism operates smoothly, the swivel base moves easily and freely.

This vise is approximately 51 years old, It was restored, however the vise is still used and its shows some wear in different areas, some scratches.

Please look at all the pictures for condition. Please ask questions if not sure about condition.

The Wilton "baby" vises are by far the most collected vise, by numbers and dollars.

It is truly a cult vise, the extreme interest in them never seems to end.

In the 1950’s these baby vises sold new for about (in today’s money) 2 cups of coffee from Starbucks, go figure. But that was a lot of money back then.
