I have an Emmerts Pattern Makers vice for sale. This is a turtle back model 28 I believe. It appears to me to have a patent date of 1801. It sure looks like a 0 instead of a 9 to me.
I know little about these except for what I read on the internet.
It would seem to need some TLC but it does work in going in and out and pivoting on the hinge. From what I have seen on YouTube it appears there may be a bracket missing for the tilt feature.
On Ebay, it looks like they go any where from $500 to $900.
Asking $500 from the woodnet community.
The thing is darn heavy (85 pounds or so) so I would think shipping would be expensive but I am willing to ship if the buyer pays for shipping and a crate.
