Some of us are old enough to have stuff they don't even remember having....I "found" this is my garage shop.
When a friend ask about a couple small vises on a high up shelf, something clicked and I remembered having a couple of vises.
The hunt began, not really remembering what I had or where, I have an offsite "storage" building.
Funny, I remember buying the first one!
I needed and wanted a good vise and Paid a hefty 40.00 for a Columbian 406.
Used the overhead crane and set that puppy in the back of my daily driver 64 fairlane.
Had to get help to get it out, it was just to big to work out for my needs.
I remember buying another two also for 40.00 but they were only little baby vises and I was afraid of ruining them because I knew I was going to abuse whatever vise I had.
Decades later only vises in the shop reside on the mills.
Until my friend stirred the memory pot.....
