Frank Turley Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 The Warren Tool & Forge Company of 120 Griswold Street, Warren, Ohio, acquired the Iron City Tool Works of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1958. Iron City, founded in 1854, made good leg vises among other smiths' tools and for a while Warren continued to stamp IRON CITY (within a six pointed star) on their vises. At some point, Warren started stamping QUIKWERK on their vises instead. Rererences: Directory of Early American Toolmakers, Robert E. Nelson Ed., 1999.
