KnarlyCarl Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Never seen those in person, looks like that would put some extra meat on ya. Have you used these much? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Those are great when you have a project but it's also gym day. Insanely nice condition on those! I don't think I've seen any that clean before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the Brace, my Dad still has a couple of them hanging above his work bench, I used to try them out when I was a kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonylandin Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Even the ones I remember seeing in use were not that clean. Are those remakes or true vintage era if those are true those were very well taken care of.
