This is a vintage blacksmith post vise. It has a 4-3/4" wide jaw, a VERY IMPRESSIVE 9" jaw opening, 41-1/2" long, and weighs 50 pounds. It's hard to find a post vise that opens this far in this sized jaw! The vise has been fully tested, can be open and closed with one finger, and jaws close tight and parallel to each other. This vise is in it's "as found" condition. SHIPPING: I have considerable experience shipping post vises, so feel confident yo...u will receive yours well packaged. Some vises may be partially disassembled for shipping purposes. Please let me know if you have any questions.
