one is an Indian chief
one is a Columbian
other is unmarked
all a bit larger than average
makes up for those days when I find 2 broken screwdrivers and a chinese hammer at the sales

WOW !!
I would need a strong helper to pick those up !
I'd say you had a very good day.
Hello, Skip. Great score!! I am looking at the plates/bolts, that connect the bottom of the moving jaw to the leg, they seem pretty hefty!! Nice not being the windshield!! Regards, Lou
VERY GOOD, most are unmarked. What are the jaw widths ? That is the common measurement, 3.5 and 4 in are common, 5 and 6 in. L
ess so
Indian Chief 5 1/2 jaws 86 pounds
no name 5 inch jaws 50 pounds
Columbian 6 inch jaws 90 pounds
they seem heavier than that when I pick them up
Good info. Width and weight.
Some companies offered two weights for same jaw width.
Like anvils, the heavier the better.
Thread condition is most important.
Sorry to say, I can barely pick up 50 pounds anymore, so I would have passed them up. Great score!!!

Thanks for sharing. Have 2
6 inchers one weighs 84 lbs. The other 120, carried it to the car by myself but it was a long 50 feet. Moved it recently, think it has put on weight!
