ANTIQUE SARGENT & CO. 153 Bench Mount Handsaw Sharpening Vice Over 100 Years Old

Description: Hey neighbor , This antique saw Vice was manufactured by the SARGENT & CO. in New Haven Connecticut in or before 1911 , as listed in their tool book of the same date . This Vice is in excellent condition with one exception . Their tool book lists the Vice as having noiseless rubber cushioned jaws . Well , the rubber cushions have been long gone and if not for the add in their tool book stating that fact I would have never known it was equipped with them . Nevertheless , this piece is a great example of historic tools regularly used by carpenters and craftsmen in the early 1900’s . This vice would mount on a work bench or work table by a screw on clamp and then , with a wing nut bolt , you could position the vice jaws at any angle as you sharpened your handsaw . Unlike a machinist vice , this vice only opened a fraction of an inch , just enough to accept the thin blade of a hand saw . The jaws width is 11 inches , the screw clamp for mounting the vice onto a workbench (and the clamp works flawlessly) would accept up to a 2 inch thick bench or table top . This is a great piece to have for your collection and except for the missing rubber cushions , I would say it is in perfect condition . Please check my last 5 pics for some interesting history of the SARGENT & CO. Their tool book of 1911 lists this vice at $1.35 😳!! Be nice to have H. G. Wells’ Time Machine and go back and buy things at these prices and come back to the present wouldn’t it ?? 😵‍💫 Please check all pics for size and condition . You just do not see this type of tools lying around anymore . You will not be disappointed with this piece !! This will ship USPS Ground Advantage . The shipping charge will be $8.90-$19.35 . eBay determines the actual shipping charge based on destination . This is the cheapest carrier offered through eBay .
