    My jaws are missing also. I suggested to Kevin a long time ago about making them. I think he said the volume would not be worth the time involved from a business standpoint.

    It is kind of like a rubber band :lol_hitti It keeps the handle where ever you position it and won't drop.

    I think that gray-green color got used on machinery back then. The vise got a new coat of paint along with everything else in the shop. My bear looks looks the same as yours and I had no idea they had gone up in value that much :D

    https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=8969439&postcount=203 This was in the blacksmth vise section. I thought it would get more exposure over here. A quick look around I didn't see any info on this Lewis Tool model No. 64 or 84 ?

    The flat slide support is on non swivel and rounded on swivel. The older round spindle seem to be the same way.

    The same as my Hollands except the lock handle is a cast one. I bet it is older with with the cool swivel handle. There is no model # on mine ? The collar is staked on the shaft and has some play in it. The jaws are 3" and opens 3 1/4"

    From the files of Fierljeppen, resident vise info expert. Looks like yours is the second type, so maybe the 30's ?

    You are correct in your guess on removal of the screw. I would put some penetrate on it and soak for a bit. The last thing you want to do is break the head off the screw. Good luck with the restoration and post pictures when done.

    1920's ad for the vise. Too bad the locking handle has been broken.
