Comments:

This was pulled out of my grandpa's collapsed shop. After his death, scrappers had come in and stolen everything that wasn't bolted down but this was bolted down. The roof collapsed and it was exposed to the elements for awhile so it took some work to clean up. One of the vise jaws was missing and both pipe jaws were missing. It was full of old dirt dauber nests and random dropped parts. Fortunately a seller on eBay made replacements for the missing jaws.
