Well it Well it is a cool piece @danstools and I would bet that the buyer of the vise is quite happy with his purchase and expecting the item soon. Thanks 💥 @Fierljeppen

This is the closest I have to the mystery vise. Not exact but I think very close.

Oh yeah. Will definitely be out of my price range 😅

Yea I think Littco might have made these. Here are some similar models.

Just wanted to share my collection of smaller bench vises. These are all under 3". Please enjoy 🙏 Athol 77, 87 88 112½, Parker 492½, Trojan 720, Prentiss 18, Trenton 2½, Reed 202, Fulton 1825, Stanley 652 654, York 60, Oliva 0 00, Vono 2, Boley, Record and Woden. I think that's it 😅

I also like the clamp-ons. Here are a few of mine. My little stanley family and my Modern Milwaukees lineup.

Definitely an older rock island. I think they changed their numbers at some point. @Barker425

This should help you out. A simple Columbian vise catalog circa 1940, has pictures and descriptions of commonly used vises. https://archive.org/details/ColumbianVisesCatalog40A/page/n3/mode/2up

This wo This would be a Boley pattern vise more than likely not an original Boley due to the balls on the handle. Unfortunately it is also missing the anvil that screws into the hole on the back side, it is still a nice little vise and better than the other one you picked up.

You have a great diverse collection. I was wondering if you could identify these two pieces to appease my curiosity. I know the lower is a craftsman just wondering if it is the 5190 or 91? Thanks for sharing 👍

This is an odd vise for sure. Do you know anything about the jaws? I am going to go out on a limb and say that Mr @KMScott had something to do with them 🤔 Also found your date code should be 5/18 may 1918 which puts it right around their swivel patent date not sure if that has anything to do...

I completely understand. Mr Stansbury has done a great job with the work he has put in with vintage machinery, which is my go to for vise reference and history. I did go back on your previous comments and found the blacksmith vise parts breakdown which is really cool. I really like the look of...
