Friend just bought one like that for 450. It was in very good condition. New at KBC they are close to 900.

They are definitely a good vise.

Neither have original jaws.

These are probably not D688 model - they look short - so either D675 or D660. Probably the later. New D688 latest equivalent on sale is around 650-700 CAD so a new D660 is around 500-550 CAD. Since these do not have jaws I would think 250 each would be fair - but I feel there are people out there that would give you far more - like 350 or even 400.

I assume these are 6" wide jaws.

The red set of Chinese prallers used maybe is worth like 30 at most.

Not sure what you have at the top - parts of the original jaws? One of them looks like a grove that one of the original jaws has.

Hard to read but I think it says D688-1

Well, easy to test - just open them up to the max and measure between the jaws - well assume jaws are like 1/2" wide. If it is around 9" then its D688. If around 7.5" then its D675.

They look like 688s but it wouldn't hurt to check.

In hindsight I should have bought all six of these vises that he had
. My spare sold in no time, guy loved the spare jaws didn’t care about originals.
I figured 2 is enough if I got stuck with them.
Next time I guess.

Glad to hear that it sold quickly, that regret is better then having six of something sitting in your workshop taking up room. I couldn't interest you in 400m of cat5? LOL
