Does anybody know the value of an old Emmert pattern makers vise ? It’s in pretty good shape, just dirty, no rust at all, all the parts are there. It is buried in the back room of an Antique store and I left it Hidden. They want $125. I need some help to prove to the Wife that it’s a good deal.

BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Run do not walk. A genuine Emmert, with all parts and no rust. Its a bargain even with a speeding ticket.

eBay pretty much sets the market on things like that. Click here to see one selling right now. It's at $328 with almost 2 days to go.
Here are the completed auctions (you'll have to log in).

I just checked out the E-bay site you mentioned and the vise is a little newer looking and in much better shape.Work Safe, Count to 10 when your done for the day !!

$125? Man what a scam. Way too much.
Say, now where is this place thats selling it anyway? And why oh WHY do you have to ask your wife? That ought to be in the official Man Rules. You find an Emmert at a bargain, you are required to buy. No asking.

Well, at least we now know who the luckiest man in the world must be....
I'll echo what the others are saying. Run, buy it. Ebay or otherwise you can expect to pay $400 to $800 depending on the condition, if all the parts are there, and the specific model.
But, any Emmert that is functional is worth much more than $125.
