Not mine...
I don't know anything about bench values so this may not be a deal, but it sure is an interesting old work bench.

This bench has 13 draws, one Emmert Patternmaker's Vise bench vises plus end vise for pegged hole work piece holding and top tool tray on its hard maple work surface. Emmert Patternmaker's Vise is damages as seen but vise is still fully functional. The left upper row draw was replaced long before I obtained this bench. All other draws are dovetailed and oak front quality. Approximate weight is 180 lbs. The top maple work surface is removable for easier transport, but it's definitely a two man job. The lower support frame is solid 2x3 mortis / tendon joinery, not warped at all. I believe this bench was made in mid 1880's and is in better condition than most from that time period. ONE OF A KIND OPPORTUNITY TO OWN THIS UNIQUE PIECE !
The Emmert Patternmaker's Vise is by far the most versatile woodworking vise ever made! This wonderful tool used by so many woodworkers and patternmakers. Born in the mind of Joseph F. Emmert in the 1880's, the Emmert patternmaker's vise has become world renowned. Patternmakers, woodworkers and machinists would agree that this Emmert invention is the most versatile work holding device available. The Emmert patternmakers vise has the unique ability to not only hold the work piece but to change positions without releasing it. You merely release a handle and rotate the vise and the work piece. Adjust another handle and flip the work piece onto the bench top still being held by your Emmert. The design worked so well that it has changed little since it was first patented in 1891.
