Friend just bought one like that for 450. It was in very good condition. New at KBC they are close to 900.
 
Neither have original jaws.

These are probably not D688 model - they look short - so either D675 or D660. Probably the later. New D688 latest equivalent on sale is around 650-700 CAD so a new D660 is around 500-550 CAD. Since these do not have jaws I would think 250 each would be fair - but I feel there are people out there that would give you far more - like 350 or even 400.

I assume these are 6" wide jaws.

The red set of Chinese prallers used maybe is worth like 30 at most.

Not sure what you have at the top - parts of the original jaws? One of them looks like a grove that one of the original jaws has.

Well, easy to test - just open them up to the max and measure between the jaws - well assume jaws are like 1/2" wide. If it is around 9" then its D688. If around 7.5" then its D675.

In hindsight I should have bought all six of these vises that he had
. My spare sold in no time, guy loved the spare jaws didn’t care about originals.
I figured 2 is enough if I got stuck with them.
Next time I guess.

Glad to hear that it sold quickly, that regret is better then having six of something sitting in your workshop taking up room. I couldn't interest you in 400m of cat5? LOL
