I think after reading all the additional comments, that might be the best idea (find other parts to make it whole— the screw part works fine). I’m not in a position to make anything to fix it, so will find someone in my area who can make or buy something to render it usable again for its purpose. As much as I appreciate how sturdy this thing is, I don’t know that I need a 70ish pound paperweight. Thanks again for everyone’s comments!

Hi and thanks for the reply! Here are some pics closed… one end closes exact (the far end on the ground) and the other end has almost a 1/4 gap. Any use in taking apart to see if it can close better after cleaning or do you think it was just VERY worn and unfixable?

Hi team- new to the forum and was hoping someone had an idea of what I’ve found. It looks like a post leg vise, but appears that it’s missing the mounting plate and may have an aftermarket spring as it doesn’t appear to be locked in, in any way (and I don’t see that it really has a purpose). It was dug out of concrete, and they had welded some rebar to it prior to putting into concrete.
