I have a set of four with adjustable angles. Make me an offer I can't refuse, and they could be yours.
They are in good condition and rarely used now, since I got the Fletcher 5700 with double vertical clamps. I just don't need to bench-vice frames much anymore.

Uh, those look like Stanley vices, not Master Clamps. If you want the cast-iron vices like those, you probably ought to just buy them new. Last time I looked was several years ago, but I think they were selling for about $70 with speed handles.
The Master Clamps I have are mostly aluminum, with jaws that open to about 6". The neatest feature is the precisely-adjustable-angle jaw. The second neatest feature is the screw's drop-down speed nut. That is, you don't have to turn the screw all the way down; instead, just push it to the point of contact, drop the nut, and tighten only a turn or two. Fast, clean , easy to use. Not cheap.
