Vise identification help


Mcbob

Recommended Posts

Hello, 

I picked up this small vise, but I’m having trouble identifying it, the only marking it has is Cleveland as you will see in the photo. I think it’s possibly more of a craft vise due to its size. Any internet search for Cleveland Vise comes back with Colombian Vises but still can’t find anything like this. 
Hoping someone could help.

Thanks

The Cleveland brand was made by Columbian Vise & Manufacturing.

The vise in your link is a small wood working vise…

Thanks, I was thinking that too. Never seen one like this though.

My folks relocated from the Cleveland area to Florida (of all places) when I was only five, long before I could become corrupted.:)Dad always said they were tried of Lake Erie catching on fire. I have run into some of the strange (by our standards) use of words when working on old British firearms.
