Hi Sven - nice haul with the vices - not sure how I missed this thread!

There’s limited info online- but get the moving bits moving and then mount them to a bench heavy enough to not tip when the jaw is fully open!


Good luck with the restoration - if you were looking to sell ether of them on let me know!
