Welcome to Tool Talk !  By the way, I changed the title of your thread to reflect that that is a vise, not a vice. We all have plenty of vices, but not enough vises!  :grin:
We discussed a foot vise before and info was that Green River was made by H E Fuller.

To make it clear: According to Wikipedia "A vise (American English) or vice (British English) is a mechanical apparatus used to secure an object to allow work to be performed on it".
So "vise" is indeed the right word on this American forum.

And a warm welcome to the forums from beautiful Ohio.   And yes, pictures would be loved by all (seriously, even for things we don't collect...whatever those things are?)   :embarrassed:
