Oldie but goodie, repainted RIDGE Tool Co. vice made in USA - $170 (Madison heights)

This is a great vise I would keep it forever except I just inherited a larger one Made in the USA back in the day Works perfect not all rusty and beat up I refrain from welding and grinding with this vise so it's not all spackled and there are some aluminum soft Jaws that I fashioned up I have included many pictures this vice was old when I got it .
I see no welding repairs works as it should I decided to clean it up and paint it I have included before and after pictures just to ensure that there is no damage Just a good old made in the USA dealia.
.
I will possibly do some bartering for a belt sander table top or one on a stand
