>
> When I was about 10 years old, in the 1930s, this old leg vise was mounted
> beneath a large Sweet Gum tree as a part of an outdoor blacksmith
> shop where my Dad did repairs on his meager farm equipment used on our
> small farm in Mississippi. Since my Dad's death, the vise has followed me as a
> part of the tools that I find handy. I gave it a coat of paint some years ago,
> and I keep grease on the screw. It still provides faithful service just like
> it did
> when new, 100 years ago.
> Mounted to a bench in my garage, I still see it every day, and find it useful
> about once a month. I checked, and similar ones are still offered for sale
> today.
