RAE 2-1/2 inch Vise

This is the smallest vise of this style made by RAE. It has jaws that are 2-1/2 inches wide (a Record No. 0 is 2.5 inches). It opens 2-3/8 inches and weighs 6.8 lbs. RAE vises were originally made in Hamilton, Ontario but the vise line was sold to Bartaco in 1963 and made in Orillia. This vise had a label on it indicating it was made in Hamilton. It has been completely torn down, stripped to bare metal and hand painted (2x) with metal paint. Properly greased, anti-seized and rust protected. No welds or cracks hiding under the paint. Perfect working order. Canadian colours too !
