Here is a rare one. KMScott got a photo of one in Europe, #2341, 12/26/2021 in this thread. I bought this guy today. Brown Boggs Co Ltd of Hamilton, Canada. No 10. From 1917. This can have a quick release system but this one does not but still has the guide hole on the front plate for...

VA, I think the one Northern King that I saw photos of look like a Henry design (Craftools). Here are photos of this Northern King and a similar sized Henry vise. The Northern King model is a 2 so assuming, like Henry (and Record) that a 2 is 3.5" wide jaws. Here is a Henry 2 as well (on a...

I hope these versions of the photos attach.....

I believe that is a larger Fabrex vise, made by Record. There is a 5" version on Kijiji currently. Has the raised diamond on the front jaw tower and the raised ridge running from the front of the moving jaw to the back of the fixed tower. I did not see a "5" marked on it but asked the owner...

That double side hump to support the front support for the rail makes it look like a RAE vise. RAEs were originally made in Hamilton and might have made this vise for Clark which is only 30 minutes away in Merritton. Just guessing. Far more RAEs than Clark's as RAE was around a lot longer...

Here are a couple of catalog pages for the Smith Combo vises - 1 to 3. The 1914 shows a break down of parts. Interesting that they show the Charles Parker style jaw inserts. The 1905 catalog shows it next to a dwg of a Charles Parker still with CP style jaw inserts.

Kevin, what year were the articles from ? Thanks.

Based on the patent dates in this file, this Reed catalog was after 1916. There was a hand marked date on the front of 1931. I could not read the model number on yours but here is the Reed 31-34 Combos. You have all the parts. Congrats !

Parkinson 1940 catalog on the swivel. Handy vises with jaws of 4 inches and higher can use the normal bench mount swivel.

I found this brochure from 1925. Swivel base.

That is the patent date for the actual Parker Collar. US Patent 71498.

"Bulldog" was part of the casting. Here is an example. It is a Bulldog 500, 5 inch jaw width. Same shape as a Henry 5. I also included a Henry 5 for comparison.

I have seen Henry's labeled as Henry 1 to Henry 6. Jaw widths are like Records. 1 = 3inch, 2 = 3.5, 3 = 4, 4 = 4.5 inch, 5 = 5 inch, 6 = 6 inch. The swivelled versions have the name "Bulldog" on the brass wrench for the swivel. I have seen Henry's labelled 35 to 60, with the Henry name...

Here is a Henry 2. 3.5 inch wide jaws like your 350. Pretty similar.

My bet is that it is a Henry vise. Henry vises have a lot of mass behind the fixed jaw and the curve at the back of the fixed tower (yours has both of these things). Henry vises have a couple of ridges on the bottom of the vise. Here is a picture of a Henry 2 bottom....

KMS, the smallest I see for the Stephens is 2 inch, although your photos don't look like somebody filed them down or anything. Couple of catalog options. Assuming a 2 inch jaw width, it could be a No 115 from the 1909 catalog. Or a 21 or a 15 from the 1890 catalogs below. Not sure if that...

I think you have a Massey Lightning Grip vise. Not sure of the "23". Here are a couple of catalog pages I have of it. One is from 1895. Interesting that they do not think a quick release makes sense for the larger vises. Hopefully the sectional matches what you have. This other is from...

That is a Jimmy Durante nose (meatball) on that vise !

I actually just ran across a photo of a Parkinson Handy 0A in Vises of GJ from 2017 from Dutchgray of Dorset, England.
