bl00 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 It appears to be a Stephens. If you do a search for Stephens Patent vise you'll find a bunch of info on the internet. Yours is the first I've seen with the tall jaw surface of a woodworkers vise. Fisher (and others?) made a similar vise, although I believe Stephens was the original.
