Miniature vise..let's see yours

[Sawmill7]

Here is my smallest. Wonder who made this one?

 

[Jlanciani]

Smallest one in my collection

Here is mine, made by me a few years back. This was made from castings by Morrison and Marvin Engine Works.
I did the 3d CAD and the drawing package for it. I believe that they are all sold out at this time.
I also scaled and built the Powarm Jr. from scratch.

 

[Sawmill7]

Very very nice

 

[Corvette Mark]

My smallest, and largest.

Here's a small precision vise I made.

^^^ Are you going to show us the rest of it? (The bent handle where you over torqued it using a pair of tweezers as a cheater handle?)

Very nice, down to the engraved anchor and initials.

I have one just like the original post shows, and don't know any more than he does about it.
Never really used it either, but may be good for some small parts applications.

I picked this up today.
I haven’t cleaned it up, but the only markings I can find is JAPAN.
About a 1 1/8” jaw.

Picked this guy up years ago. I was told it's a Stephens patent. Really neat little guy, that's been used and abused over the years but still in decent shape.

Here's my smallest. A 1940's era made-in-Britain watchmaker's vise made by Offen. Includes a Pow-R-Arm style swivel mount that pre-dates the Wilton design.

The Stephens patent vises are usually marked on the top of the slide, can be hard to see.

After having second thoughts about my statement of my Stephen's patent vise I started researching them a bit the other night. Found this on Ebay and put a watch on it...really surprised me that two people wanted this that bad! I know it's a neat little guy, but wow! Exact same one I have! Mine still has a cloth cover on the bottom that seems to have been there since original...glad I've hung on to this for the last 15 years or so...and that I paid $425 less than that guy!
