Columbian Red Arrow series Model 63 swivel base utility bench vise with 3" wide jaws, pipe jaws, anvil with pritchel hole and weighs in at 11 pounds.

This Columbian Red Arrow bench vise was give to me by high school buddy that was bought brand new by his Grandfather for use on his farm workshop in Romeo Michigan. I got the vise after his Grandfather passed away at age 105. After I restored this vise I gave it back to my buddy for use on his gun room workbench with thick rubber pads glued to the smooth jaws for holding small gun parts. This vise was in beat up to ALL hell bad condition from heavy use on the farm and the dynamic lower jaw was actually broke off at some point and welded and brazed back together for another 50 years of use. Paint used was two part Awl Grip polyurethane in a medium Delta gray color mix.
