i am putting this 2" Baby Bullet vise on this site for discussion purposes.....I owned this several years ago....and i will try to find better pictures of it. (What is interesting is the): The under mounting bracket that was made from an extruded rectangular metal tubing and was sculpted/refined by Wilton I believe!?!?!?.....It had very well made thumb turned/machined wing nut type screws that you can sort of see.... they were very well made and with bolts welded into the bottom of the steel plate to allow to adjust and fasten onto a countertop. I found the vise in a garage sale for a whopping 25 cents....not joking......all the paint had flaked off so i painted it black....it had a date code on it from the late 1940's......if i remember correctly....i am thinking i should of held onto it...the only tool i feel this way about....but sold it for 500 plus dollars and put it toward a motorcycle.....anyway
