i like the extra long slide on that AS #500. redeeming feature for an exposed screw vise.
I have a 3” Lake Side V6/V7 like that on the welding bench

YOST 431/2 N
Specifically designed with longer bar and spindle
There must have been a design change along the way. The ad mentions "Cast in pipe jaws" but holes for removeable pipe jaw pins can be seen in the photos.

Here's an exposed screw vise that caught my eye. It's marked Walworth USA Boston, which was a manufacturer I hadn't heard of before, but there are several examples shown on GJ. It has interesting styling and a pretty massive screw! Not mine, but for sale on-line semi-locally.
Looks like that had a hard life, what are they asking?Here's an exposed screw vise that caught my eye.

Definitely a hard life, as confessed to by the seller, asking price of $60 Cdn which would only be $42.50 USD, but perhaps a bit far away.

That slide looks like it was "nicked" with a cutting torch...

A 'Gipsy' has been on my BOLO list for a long time.
They're not that hard to find but it took time to find one that wouldn't cost me various limbs.

I like that too, just watched a U-toob clip on one, it's different, don't know why they regarded it as a Steamfitters Vice thou, but now I know what a steamfitter is -This Reed just came up for sale. I haven't come across one with exposed thread like this

Usually a steam fitters vise has a couple of big notches in the back for bending pipe. maybe that was protected by patent at the time these were made?I like that too, just watched a U-toob clip on one, it's different, don't know why they regarded it as a Steamfitters Vice thou, but now I know what a steamfitter is -

Here is a Japan marked hand held vise. It was too cute to leave behind at the estate sale.

Unfortunately, I think it's purchase predates having a website to post it on.

Just bought this, been looking at it for a while, did some research but couldn't find anything, looks similar to a lot of the US vices posted in this thread with the pipe jaws, hoping someone has an idea, but basically bought it as I like the rounded handle mount and don't have many, could be missing a swivel base also. the price was good and my brain has yet to kick into gear so could be another early morning error of mine,
I'll post better pic's when it arrives
