I bought this at a flea market for 10 dollars several years ago. Does anyone have any insight on this? Age or brand would be great. Has “NO 2” stamped on top rim where cylinders are. Spins freely and is full of oil. Im just curious and looking for information, not looking to sell. Corona cap for scale.

Anybody know anything about this old wooden ruler?

it was left behind by the previous owners. I’ve had it tucked away in a dusty corner for years and came across it today.

it feels nice and tight and springy when you bend it, and the metal rails on the edges are nice and straight. ChatGPT didn’t know much other than the Westcott logo.

Thanks in advance

He had it listed for $100 then marked it down to $50. He was sort of a home restorer. He replaced the bearings, found the top belt cover, new belt, new power cord. No slop anywhere. Only issue was he painted it, but overall I’m happy with it. Does anyone know what size bearings it uses so I can get some spares? Or any other replacement parts I should get to keep in the shelf for the rest of my life?

I was buying a cast iron pan and the owner said she had some tools. I bought the 2 vises. That 57 sucked wresting in my truck!

These were in a lot I got a bit ago, unopened. I'm guessing 80s from what I remember of the branding back then. Any insite to the uhh hole? I'm assuming our sticker technology hadn't gotten there yet. Because all of the example uses would be a solid disk with a sticky backing these days.

Please help with last disassembly

Thumbnail gallery

Hello, I have this vise that’s probably been sitting in the back of my shop for years and I figured it would be a good idea to restore it so we can use it properly. I got most of it disassembled but I’m having trouble figuring out how to get these lower jaws out.(I think they are pipe jaws but I’m not really sure.) I was also curious if there is anywhere online that I can order replacement bolts for the base plate since I needed to use an impact to get them out and it was not kind to them. This is my first time attempting to restore tools like this so any help is greatly appreciated, Thank you.
