Jorgensen Adjustable Clamp Co Chicago Vises

Ditto for if you feel like selling one....

Regarding selling any of these, several are spoken for, but a few will likely be sold. I honestly have no idea what a fair price would look like for these vises, but would be open to hearing thoughts on the matter. Shipping would also pose a challenge, as they’re pretty heavy.

Check eBay, but used vises go for $50-150, except rare pattern makers vises which can fetch $600.

I looked around and didn’t see anything at first. When I changed search to completed items, I found one that sold for $80ish w $50ish in shipping. Thats very helpful. Thanks!

Not much help with your question, but they look like a pretty standard high school shop class vise. There were a lot of manufacturers of those. I rescued a Brodhead-Garrett 500Y a few years ago, and just grabbed a Record 53-1/2 a few weeks back. I can't imagine how many of those decent shop vises were sent to dumpsters and scrap yards over the past 25-30 years. Wish I had been in the right place at the right time myself, more than once.

Jorgensen has some good history written up on their current website, I'm pretty impressed with how the new owners have reinvented the company and are doing very well. Notwithstanding where the products are made, quality seems to be on par with the vintage stuff.

These are still being made.

They are very similar, but not the same.
