The CP 29, 39 -- 79 series starts in 1906 with the introduction of the solid steel strengthening bar in the top of the rail (Patent of Jan 2, 1906). Patents typically continue on the castings for 17 years during that time frame. The 29X, 39X --- 79X series starts in 1920 taking over the...

Kevin, did Atlas make this vise? I know their name is listed for Rock Islands as a distributor with their name in the casting. Is it possible that this vise was made by Bonney and put their name on it? I think it could be a Bonney model 02-1/2. Here is a catalog page from them from...

CRSINMICH - The 1916 oval vise (Models 25, 30, 35 and 40) are made by Erie Tool Works.

I have catalog pages of this Shepard vise starting in 1899 out to 1933. It always had a combo style swivel system with a centre post that you could put thru the bench and loosen the nut to swivel it as well as using the two mounting holes to mount it like a stationary vise. Here is a copy of...

Desmond Stephan Utility vise. From 3" jaw width up to 5 inch. Swivel base. Here is a catalog page of it from 1952. I have a couple. Nice....not big. Photo of the other side will give you the model number (jaw width) etc.

I believe your vise is a D3.5 Columbian. The D63.5 had polished, built in jaws but the D33.5 had replaceable steel jaws like yours. Around 1974 the name was changed to D3.5 with the depressed area on the fixed jaw tower for "Made in USA". Here is the 1974 catalog page of the D3.5 vise. I do...

I have a Sears page with the Samson Jr vise, with the same prices as yours, and I have it listed as 1929.

I was looking up the Athol 14 you were showing. This is the older Athol - Simpson vise design with quick release. The spreadsheet has an Athol 14 and also an Athol/Starrett 014 but they both point to the same photo which is the newer Starrett 014, which is NOT yours. There is no Athol/Simpson...

I am a year late on this conversation but there are other Paramo style Craftsman vises with the same Craftsman label on them that you do not see in the states. One looks like a Paramo 1 (3" jaw width) and have seen them up to a Paramo 5 (5 inch jaw width). Paramo has a curve on the back end of...

I do not have a date on this or recall where I got it. Shows some interesting methods of using the vise and the drill (without the vise).

It's got the Oswego Tool marking on the right side of the moving jaw. Sawyer Tool Co took over Oswego at some point. Oswego, NY. Model looks like 26 perhaps. Maybe a 25 or 28.

Is it possible that this piece is just a threaded something that the previous owner used when the original lock/T-Bar went missing? Just a thought.

The "391-" marking indicates that these were made in Japan. The 5186, 4.5" jaw width did not appear (in the US) until 1985 and it is listed as imported. They had a 3.5, 4 and 5 inch (jaws) for years before that. Earlier ones of this design were "506-" and were made by Columbian in...
