Oh wow, see I did not know there were so many makers of leg vises. Everything I have seen there only seemed to be a handful of manufacturers. Thank you for the info ThomasPowers.

Actually his comment was pretty spot on. There were tons of companies making these, and many did not mark them

 And who is to say that all of the parts are original and have not been swapped over the decades? Sears sold replacement screws and screw boxes for post vises

Googling Peter Wright post vise comes up with a lot of pictures that look like yours; mount, ears, bevels on legs, etc...

That’s is the information I was looking for. Thank you. If it’s a frankenvise, cool. I was just curious. And his comment did not help me. More detailed pictures of what? Detailed description of what? The comment was not helpful in my eyes. Did not answer any question or further my research.

OK, I'll bite. What makes you think any part of your vise is special? What are you seeing that we are not?

Looks pretty generic from what I can see. Detailed pictures and explanation would be helpful.

??? All I am asking is if anyone has an idea on the manufacturer. I did not say it is special. That’s the problem. I am not seeing anything that gives me any clue. The screw box is not one of a Peter Wright,  Columbian, or iron city. The mounting bracket is not similar to any of those either. And when you say generic, what is that supposed to mean? Each maker has their own styles on individual parts, and this one has no characteristics of any SPECIFIC maker that I can find. And what more detailed pictures do you need. This shows the screw box, mounting bracket, legs, base, and jaws. Your comment is not helpful in any way and in my honest opionion sounds like your kind of being a donkey(nicest term I could think of without cussing). All I am wanting to know is who makes it. There is a lot of wisdom and knowledge on this forum, I am trying to tap into it. I like to research the history of the companies on things I own. History really interests me, always has. Knowledge is power right? The more I can learn the better. 

Anyone have any ideas?

Perhaps you might consider telling us which of the 150+ countries participating on these forums this postvise was found in?

Georgia

I live in Marietta, GA. Just outside of Atlanta. This was found about 45 mins north 

Do you know the manufacturer? I have one exactly like this but don’t know who makes it. Thanks

Hey all! I recently picked up my first post vise. I have read through many many of the vise id posts on here and can’t find one with a screw box like mine. I am very excited about this as I have been hunting one for a while now. I cleaned it all up with a wire brush but could not find any markings as to help ID it. Although it is not going to hurt or help me knowing who made it, I always like knowing the history of my tools. Anyone have any insight as to who the maker is? I love restoring old tools and learning the history of the makers and the tools themselves. Thanks in advance.
