Well, at least your Mic Standards compulsion is a lot easier to move around and store than my Granite Standards.
Tell me about it. My cnc machine collection is just now finally getting thinned out. I’m trying to cut down to one large and one mill

Yeah, my limited german tells me it is a water can. Drinking can (like a canteen) to be exact.

I have wanted a Wilton Bullet vise for a long time. turns out I ended up with two of them for $100 each. They are in remarkably good condition. One was manufactured in 1954 and the other is from 1951. I was bidding on these and later discovered I was bidding against JRaut (one of the HM memebers). We both chuckled about that.
Anyhow, I hope to restore them as soon as I am more healed up from some injuries.

What a treat to the eyes
Defiantly a cry once thing.

Hahaha
100$ for any old school working vice is a good deal. those should clean up wonderfully! My vises defiantly hurt the wallet a bit more....

I buy the same vices but from teco for a bit less $ and they are great vices. Comparable to Kurt any day. You will have very good service out of those vises. I think I have 6 or 7 of them now.

I measured these vises in the mill and I am very happy with how they did, in terms of being parallel with the table they are welllllll under .0005" id have to get my tenth dial out to see what they really are within.
and the new dx6 Kurts kinda suck, the shop I work at bought 4 new ones and they are not nearly as nice to use as the d688's I honestly quite dislike them. hence why I went with glacern's style.
