The screw and screw box look perfect to me. The handle is almost straight with just a slight bend.  I'll be mounting it to a stand I made tomorrow.

Thank you very much for the advise I am extremely grateful. I'll definitely be looking into Warren and Columbian.

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.
