    Thank you for your input. Well taken! I wonder if a Howard Iron Works screw and handle would swap over to the Cox since they are so similar? If only I could find a beat up old Howard. Ebay has one for $500.

    Since I'm not a guy with many vises (pun intended), I don't know much about them. Could the screw and handle be made based on the Howard vise? What would that cost? Would it increase the value more than the cost of the new parts?

    More pics of the Cox & Son's. The last few pictures are of a piece that laid on the floor with it. I don't know if it is a piece from it or not?

    Here are more pictures you asked for. The vise weighs 65lbs without the screw and handle. I am also amazed at how small the holes are to hold it to the bench. 3/8" ? That seems quite small, don't you think?

    Too bad it doesn't have the screw or handle. Is that something that could be made or should it be left alone in as found condition? Also, I don't know why they put a ' in Son's?

    Hello Garage people, I was told this is the place to be. I just picked up this vise from my late father-in-laws basement. He was a machinist. It is labeled Cox & Son's, so I know who made it, but can't find anything about it on the net. It is missing the screw and handle, so I'm guessing he...
