Dpgoalie Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 Got it. I've updated my location. Thank you for the tip. Just got an offer of $250. I can't seem to find info on the vise anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 No name or numbers on it? I'm completely out of the bidding but I'd love to have one on my bench even if it turned out not to work well for me. I love a cool device. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 You only get kicked for posting commercial web sites. You can mention brand names, model and patent #s, etc. no problem, we can search things out if we're interested. Just so long as you aren't advertising on the site it's all good. I did some searching last night and didn't see much of anything about kick or foot actuated vises. There are so many different types and names of vises in the world you probably have to know what it was designed to do. Frosty The Lucky.

Farmall Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I'd love to have a vise like that! If I was closer to New Hampshire, I know we'd be talking. That's a nice mechanical device Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 With those tall wide jaws set back into the bench, it looks like a wood workers vise to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a woodworkers vice. Probably designed for a workshop that built structures like roof trusses or similar when they did this by hand. Would suit a carver of larger stuff. As for price, I think it will depend on your urgency to sell. Being a unique piece, you could ask for a premium price, if you are patient. $250 does not seem to be not here nor there. Ask an antique dealer. we are blacksmith ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
