I would guess it won't last long.
dang that would look good in my shop!
Looks like to good of condition, ime guessing it's been redone at one time or another.
Either way it looks great.
I posted it quick because a few weeks ago there was a really very unusual vise on CL. The next day I was gonna put a photo of it here - but it was gone.

I saw a vise once an it was gone later that day. I wanted to post a pic here but never could.Now I usually screenshot craigslist adds I like.
That Stanley box is well worth sharing.
Does anyone know what era it's from? I didn't know of it.
Seems there was an 850, 8 1/2" deep x 25 3/4" long x 29 1/4"high, a 851, 8 1/2" deep x 19 1/2" long x 26 5/8" high and a 852, 6 1/2" deep x 14" long x 22" high. They were all made between 1922 and 1942. No tool prices listed in John Walters book don't go any higher then $500 surprisingly. I've seen them before at catalogued auctions but never really watched the prices that closely.
