Great wee vices, persuaded me to try the gold on mine too:
and my matching Imp:
and my matching Imp:
Has anyone else noticed that on the early Imp's with the patent number on the slide, there are two "depressions" drilled on the side of the dynamic jaw ?
First time I saw it I thought somebody had just been buggering about with a drill but they all seem to have it. Later ones don't though.
Do you think it was testing hardness or something ??

Hmmm ? I have one of the older Imp vices, will have a look tomorrow as I don't recall the holes being in the jaw.

Located my older Imp vice today, and it does "not" have holes drilled into the jaws.

Hmmm, is it a model that has the patent no on the slide ?

Sorry, didn't think about that, will have a closer look. I know my 74 Auto-Vice has the patent numbers.
