yost mfg vise the gem 805 1/2

[VCN]

Hello Everyone,
I am new to the forum.
I am considering buying and old vise, I found this old Yost for $40 and I think it is a good deal, but I can not find anything on the web.
It is written : yost mfg vise the gem 805 1/2.
It seems that old Yost vises are not trendy, or there was not much made, and this one is maybe a survival.
Any help would be appreciated.

If that vise ever becomes a problem to you we can give it a nice home in Southwestern California. Welcome to the Forum from the shore of San Diego Bay.
