I got this post vise when I bought my other blacksmithing tools and I'm cleaning it up. It's a 6 inch vise and I believe it was made in the late 1800's.
On the back side of one jaw is "ccc" I believe this was done at the factory but it could have been done by a previous owner.
There's also a date stamped into the backside of the other jaw. It reads "1899" I believe this is either the date it was made or someone stamped this on when they bought it.
Finally there is a diamond on the back of one jaw that reads "WW. & W. H. CC" inside of it
Any information on it would be much appreciated.
