I picked up this Float Lock drill press vise yesterday. The ratchet mechanism for the fixed jaw was stuck and needed a little love but I was okay with paying the $25 asking price.
It cleaned up okay also.
Listed it last night and sold it this morning for $125.

Yup. It truly wasn’t a usable tool but it cleaned up nicely.
I relisted it as a “novelty” item and sold the same day for $45

It was a No2 Oswego Tool Co alligator wrench.
They were used to turn pipe and square fasteners.

Cool wrench, I’ve never seen one before.
