Is my vise a Wilton?

[skipskip]

Got a vise yesterday that looks a lot like a Wilton

but the label is missing and I know there a lot of Asian clones out there

anyway to be sure?

Thanks

Skip

I'd say no, but I can't tell you why.

I'd also say no. The casting is rough, and some of the lines don't give me a Wilton feeling.

But, shoot, if it's usable then who cares?

Check the thread sizing on the swivel clamp bolt.

Metric?

I'm going to break from the pack and say YES. I think it's a Model 744 https://www.google.com/search?q=744+wilton&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjKyrrOwv3nAhUEhp4KHZS1A5oQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=744+wilton&gs_l=img.3...6208.7048..7447...0.0..0.79.285.4......0....1..gws-wiz-img.......0i7i30j0i8i7i30.eIEylixwLd0&ei=GuRdXsrVA4SM-gSU647QCQ&bih=613&biw=1366

Has the lot number in the same place as well as that [N] and the single digits number next to it that I see on older used examples, so o say yes it is a Wilton.
Maybe they're just on the budget side for a Wilton ?

I'm saying yes it's a Wilton. This is a cheaper Wilton. I've had a few of these. Not all Wilton's are pretty.

I can go with that. I'm not pretty, and would like people to accept me!

Yep!   

[oldnslo]

I am leaning towards feeling strongly both ways.

Looks like a #744 to Elroy

Just like this one:

That's more confirmation right there.

Definitely a Wilton.
