I picked this vise up from a friend for $50.  I'm guessing from the open screw box that it is a Columbian........early 1900's??  The screw is in great shape and the jaws are 4 inches wide.  Thoughts anyone?  She's slated for a clean-up & greasing of the screw next.

Here's the little 3 3/4 inch post vise I'm currently using.  I'm told it could be a Peter Wright, but I found no markings on the screw box when I cleaned & greased the screw.  Anyone have any ideas as to the maker and age?  I'm told the smaller vises like this could be older.
