Ken G Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Picked up a new to me WT & F Co, 4" Post Vise off off CL. It seems to be in pretty good condition. The threads looks good and the jaws close tight. I was happy to get it for $75. It is for sure it is in better shape than the one I have which has a replacement screw box. For curosity sake, about what years were these made? Thanks, Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Turley Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I looked in my big "Directory of American Toolmakers" and I found no W.T.&F. It resembles somewhat a Quikwerk made in Warren, Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken G Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 Thanks for looking. I have seen several on e-bay so I did not think the company to be that rare. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 All I was able to find is this catalog title, property of the Ohio Historical Society, no year given: Quikwerk Forged Tools, Catalog No. 7: Warren Tool Corporation Successor of the Warren Tool & Forge Co Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot.

Ken G Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 Warren Tool and Forge Co. is more than I knew before. With that info I was able to find a couple of references to them in the 1920s. Thanks very much for looking. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
