Description
**Vintage Machinist's Vise and Tool Collection**
This lot consists of a blue-painted cast iron machinist's bench vise as the centerpiece, accompanied by what appears to be a pneumatic jack or lifting device and additional metalworking tools. The vise features the classic design with fixed and movable jaws, a threaded screw mechanism, and an anvil face on the back of the fixed jaw. The blue paint shows significant wear and patina, indicating substantial use. Based on the table proportions, the vise measures approximately 8-10 inches in length with jaw opening capacity of roughly 4-6 inches.
The gray pneumatic or hydraulic jack positioned behind the vise appears to be a low-profile automotive or machinery lifting tool, estimated at 12-15 inches in length. Additional tools visible include what appears to be black-finished metalworking equipment, possibly punches or alignment tools. All items rest on a black work mat atop a metal table with visible wear around the edges.
The overall condition suggests these are well-used shop tools, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century based on the construction style and paint finishes. The vise shows honest workshop wear with surface rust and paint loss consistent with regular use. No clear manufacturer markings or model numbers are visible in the image, though such markings may exist on areas not clearly shown.
