Hello,
I have a question about a vise I saw in an old add in a 1905 publication, it's called the keystone malleable iron vise made by Hollands Mfg. Erie Pa. the illustration shows what looks like a bench vise that is mounted to the bench top and face and has a leg that extends to the floor like a post vise. I wonder were any of these ever made and used?

I know that Hollands did make vises, because I saw one at a flea market, a 54H which is a HUGE! bench vise...

Just thought I would drop in and say HI, as you can see by the name my shop is where ever I can set up the portable equip.

The only permanant set up is when I demo for the public with the Western Reserve Artist Blacksmith Association at Burton Century Village at Burton, Ohio
