I took a closer look today and daswolf has it right what looks like NYCRR is actually a mis stamp for New York. Even though it's not NYCRR, it's still awesome that it's so old and in great condition in my eyes. I looked at the directory that frank was talking about, very good info there. I know that the factory or forge is no longer there in lower Manhattan. There is a park there now at the attorney street address, unfortunately that was a dead end. Now do you guys leave the petina on the vise or strip it and clean the parts? Thanks

Thanks for the info, I never thought that it could be New York instead of NYCRR. I will investigate it further and see what I find. I live in New York and work in the city so I will do some digging. I will pass on what I find

Hello, I'm new here and need a little help with finding out more about this vise. It is a Goldie maker vise and is also stamped with NYCRR on the leg. Which at one point was made for the New York Central Railroad, but I was just wondering if these are rare or common? Did they produce a lot of these vises, how old it might be as well. Thanks forger97
