Prentiss No. 54 Vise

[Wells Smith]

I have recently broken down a Prentiss No. 52 vise. It seems in good condition. After breaking it down, I learned it did not have a spring on the threaded rod. Would this vise originally have had one, or do some vises not have springs?

It is a No. 52 vise.

Sorry I am not familiar with your Prentiss vise, but somebody here probably is.
