For sale: Rigger's vise/splicing clamp (any boat builders or millwrights here?)

[Bill Houghton]

I inherited this rigger's vise or splicing clamp from my uncle, and would like to see it happily occupied with someone who can use it.

It's 9-1/2" long at the base and 7-1/2" high; around six pounds in weight.  It's made from brass (or perhaps bronze; not sure how to know which), with the screws and the little retaining screws that keep the clamping screws in place from steel.  No maker's name visible.  From what I found online, a similar clamp/vise in aluminum is $260; I'm asking $80 or best reasonable offer plus postage.  Cost of postage will depend on how far away from me you live, so please include your ZIP code in your message expressing interest.
