JT Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I just picked up this leg vise at a small local auction and came from the Kneeland-Bigelow Lumber Company in Bay City Michigan.. it has a Indian with a headdress facing to the left and what looks to say "Warrior" under the Indian and 65 under that.. they can't be seen in the photos.. the jaws are 4 3/4"... I've read that there are vises that are called Indian Chief and have also read that Canedy-Otto made some vises with a Indian logo on them.. does any one know of a Indian logo with " Warrior " underneath ???

ThomasPowers Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 65 is probably the weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 hi Thomas, that's what I thought.. but any idea of the maker ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Best man I know for leg vises is Frank Turley; I'm hoping he will stop by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Turley Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Sorry I can't be specific. The vise has the appearance of a Columbian. Some early Columbians had chamfered legs and some had chamfered pivot beams, as yours does. The screw box shape and triangular mount look to be Columbian. I don't know why an Indian Warrior is on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Maybe someone else has better personal knowledge (or better google-fu), but this is all I can find at the moment. Not the greatest image, but the details of construction certainly match up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 good morning Frank and John ! thank you for you help. I have some running I have to do today but I will try to photo the Indian Warrior image and put it on here so you can see what I see..
