The fellow that runs the local flea market gave me this vise about 3 weeks ago and I'm just getting around to doing something with it. It's marked U.S A. on one side and I suspect whatever was cast on the other side is covered with the huge amount of brass you see. Not a quality vise by any means, no replaceable jaw pads and opens to the back for starters. I'm cleaning it up mainly as a curiosity piece, whoever did the repair on it in my opinion wasted a lot of welding gas, brass rod, flux not to mention time in "fixing at it". Curious to know if anybody recognizes it and who made it. TIA for your help.
