[SEL] Prentiss Vise update

[Elden DuRand]

Tom:

I just scrapped an old vise that may have been a Prentiss.  I saved the jaws and the one pipe jaw that were on it PLUS the screws.  They look a LOT like the ones in your photo.  

If you want them, all it will cost you is whatever the postage will be.

Let me know.

Take care - Elden
