Thanks for the info so far. I am in England and found the vise in an oddities shop locally.
Other than being rusty and a broken screw in the plate securing the twist it seems in good order. A slight bit of damage that has been welded and the quick release lever has been fitted upside down...
Afternoon all.
I am now the proud owner of a Rock Island vice and most of the web searches send me here, soo
Can any one tell me the model ( and if its 1917 promise never to post here again :)
