Good eye Outlawmws.
@DavidB - That is neat. I'll send you a PM. Also, there's two vises on the local CL that you maybe interested in.
Thanks to all the screw extraction tips. Based on the responses, my curiosity is up. I'll have to ask some family members about the history of this...
I inherited a Prentiss Bulldog 512 vise from my dad. Given the family history, I'm guessing it may have been used at Pensacola Naval Air Station at some point. It opens and closes fine. No damage or welds.
I'm really thinking of restoring it. Before starting I had some questions.
