Looks like a iron city . Nice vise !

MI have one iron city vise already a 100# 6” in near perfect condition with a very distinct iron city stamping the movable jaw post but this new vise has no such mark so don’t know if it’s an iron city but by the design I’m sure it’s much older than my iron city I’ll send you a pic of the iron cityDA68DFFF-0472-457A-9751-D79E3904CB3B.thumb.jpeg.db80fe9de84aef4c5203568379cfd8fe.jpeg

I’ve also picked up a hand powered drill press probably from around 1900 in guessing it works perfectly and has an automatic feed option that’s run off an eccentric by the flywheel here’s the p8D45F666-2AC0-41EA-ACD7-34B1C5F4A05E.thumb.jpeg.d551fab2516d2ef0db1c42f7f4d0c5d7.jpegicture
