Comments:

for consideration: an Athol double swivel vise. rear jaw and base. No. 644. it is in very good condition showing very minimal usage. Made in 1930-40 I believe. Casting has shrinkage marks from its original manufacturing. 4" wide jaws. very heavy!! has much of its original paint. I just cleaned it and lubed it up....no breaks or cracks.it was filled in the foundry in area where there was shrinkage and air pockets as the fill was under the original paint..quite interesting..... Machining is exceptional...works silky smooth!!
