In an email I received today-
"I am trying to research a Lowell Wrench Co. hand vise, but it has an unusual handle that doesn't appear in any of my searches. Moreover, on one side the tool is marked with the usual Lowell stamps, but the other is marked "MADE BY THE HULL & BELDEN CO., DANBURY, CONN."
Are you folks familiar with this tool and the markings? Also, can you tell me when it was manufactured?
Many thanks for your assistance.
