formariz 11,988 #1 Posted March 24, 2020 Here is one of my favorite vises. Extremely rare pre-patent machinists vise from about 1890's. Very early one serial #534. It weighs about 90Lbs. Restored it about 16 years ago and used it ever since. Really versatile it has become an indispensable part of shop. http://mprime.com/Emmert/other_4a_cas.htm 4 11 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine is the 4A and it weighs close to 100Lbs. I have been offered many times as much as $1200.00 for mine . The 10A if not cracked will probably go for close to $3000.00 due to its rarity. The wife for sure would notice that much money gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
