Up for sale is a rare, vintage Knu-Vise Inc. VW-10 Locking Plier manufactured in Detroit, Michigan.
Based on the historical manufacturing stamps, this tool dates precisely between 1942 and 1946. In 1946, Knu-Vise was acquired by Lapeer Manufacturing and production moved out of Detroit. This makes this specific \"Detroit\" stamped model a true World War II-era collectible.

Condition:
Pre-owned vintage tool. Shows authentic patina, minor surface wear, and signs of historical use. Mechanism functions as intended. (Please see all photos to evaluate the exact cosmetic condition).
Great addition for any vintage tool collector, military-era enthusiast, or machinist looking for a piece of American industrial history.
