    Default Very old Record Bench Vise.

    I was able to salvage this old vise from my Father-In-Law's (they have both now passed away) garage before the house was being put up for sale.
    It's probably older than me! The stampings say it's a Record #52 bench vise "Made in England".
    I already have on though it's a slightly newer version and while I thought I'd like to hang onto it for sentimental reasons, I thought it'd be better if it was put to use and given a new lease on life. Of course I will give it a good clean up before I let it go.
    I wanted to just give it away to some worthy member, but everyone wants me to sell it.
    Any suggestions or offers? I don't really care which.
    It's big and it's heavy......and here it is!...ta da.

    I have restored items in much worse than that I see no reason it can't have a serviceable life from what you can see in the photos. Great to see people saving old stuff rather than seeing it go to waste.

    Thats in pretty good shape, should clean up nicely. I have the exact same vice, together with two other larger no 53 vices.
