Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:2864248 | Modified Item: No |
| Brand: VISE-GRIP | Country/Region of Manufacture: United States |
To celebrate the Vice-Grip company's 75th anniversary, two commemorative VISE-GRIP sets were offered for sale: gold- and chrome-plated editions of today's model, and they were sold in a beautiful black walnut case to display the product.
This is a Collector's Series Limited Edition pair of the Gold-Plated Vice-Grip pliers in the Black Walnut presentation case. The serial # on the handle is 0413, which is shown in one of the photos. They were made approximately in 1998-1999, which wo...uld have been the 75 anniversary of the original patent from 1924. The U.S. Patent is in the name of the Sire & Petersen Wrench Company of De Witt, Nebraska. The US production of Vice-Grip pliers ended in 2008 when the DeWitt, Nebraska plant was closed and the operation was moved overseas - so it is very unlikely that there will be a U.S. made 100th Anniversary edition. The information on the folded card in the case is show in the photos.
They are unused as pliers. They are listed as "used" only because there are very minor scuffs on the outside of the wooden case. The photos show the excellent condition of the case and the pliers themselves. Additional photos are available if desired.
They will be carefully packed and shipped by USPS Priority mail.
Note: I am relisting this from a previous auction. Originally, there apparently was a foam insert in the wooden case that was designed to hold the pliers in one specific location. The previous buyer was a "collector, " who felt that the lack of this foam insert was a significant shortcoming that should have been specifically identified in the listing - even thought the listing photos didn't show the insert. The lack of that foam insert doesn't affect the pliers themselves in the least.
What the buyer will receive is exactly what is shown in the photos.
