Bought at a farm auction.

Slide marked 3-48, early Chicago C1 model (4½” jaw width) with some unusual marks; an early double horseshoe-shaped registered trademark symbol, and casting marks N1945, 1835, and WE. Probably marks from foundries that were subcontracted to keep up with demand.

Sandblasted and restored, see before photo.
