That's awesome work! I had not thought of utilizing the Hartford courant! Excellent! Perhaps they were a brand withing a brand and or offered only wholesale. Amazing work. I will try asking todays owner, one of the daughters, and report back any other info I can find. Well, you have me...

I wish I had that answer too. The replacement handles were sold by a local family run hardware store here in CT that was built and started in 1948, now a toystore but still in the same family.

I have had this little beauty for a while now and before I shuffle it off to another shelf, box or drawer I wanted to clean it up and put it to a little use. Would anyone know any info or be able to point me in a direction to learn about this vise? All I have from it is the stamp...PAT June...

Legitimus Civil Defense 6lb Fireaxe

I found this screw vise again in the basement. I can only assume it was my grandfathers(mom's dad), he passed away in the early 1990's at 93. No one clearly remembers him using this but my dad vaguely recollects him having it at his garage bench. Now I own and am raising my family here in there...
