If anyone has any info about this vise I'd appreciate it.

No info on it, but I'd love to have it.  Never used a quick-action vise like that, and it would go perfectly with my Fisher anvil!

Josh should speak up soon as he is the world expert on F&N.  From the title I was guessing it was anther chain drive double screw vise but it's neat to know that they made all sorts of vises!

That vise looks similar to a Stephens patent vise.

Just found this post.

FISHER made these vises from around 1912 to 1916.  They made 5 sizes, both in fixed base and swivel.  The S indicates it is a swivel type.

Yes, they are just like the Stephens vise, which had been around since the Civil War.  Fisher did get a patent on some improvement to the vise.

They also made this vise with a rod that went to the floor, and a peddle to lock the vise, freeing up both hands.  I have only seen this one in pictures.

 

that's got to be one of the coolest vices ive ever seen
