Found this leg vise at a flee market a few weeks ago. It was crusted in rust but all there and working. After I cleaned it up I noticed a "Wright's" stamp mark. Is this a Peter Wright vise? Paid $150 and spent a couple of days on cleaning and mounting it on a concrete encased stand.

Score! Seriously. That's a nice addition to your tool kit. If you've been working without one, pretty soon you will wonder how you did!

Thank you men, can't wait to put some iron in between the jaws. Waiting for the concrete to set up another week or so.
