Hi Galoots,
While on holiday, I visited the Geraldine Vintage Car & Machinery
Museum here in New Zealand
(https://www.nzmuseums.co.nz/collections/3233/geraldine-vintage-car-machinery-
museum).
A Very interesting one.
I met a guy over there, and he's looking for information about a pipe vise.
N0 100, made by Prentiss Vise Co.
I could not find much on google, and this model is not mentioned in
the few catalogues available on internet archive.
[1 hour later]
I found this US patent from 1897 which seems to fit with that vise:

If anyone has more information, please let me know.
