Final beauty shots of the Wilton Bullet No. 4 I just refurbished. It is probably from 1941 since it doesn’t have a date stamp on the dynamic jaw key, and shows patent pending - the Wilton patent was granted in 1941.

This well used and abused Wilton Bullet vise has been under the bench for a few years. I was waiting until I got the Van Norman mill set up to tackle the dynamic jaw that had been fitted with a welded jaw insert. It didn’t take much to remove and clean it up. More to come...
