name this vice

[Nick HughesParticipant @nickhughes97026]

ega, the scan of the catalogue came from a thread on another forum that I follow, here:-

http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/show-us-your-bench-vice-s.52872/page-37

Worth registering, as it's not just welding that's discussed on there.

The same for Michael, worth asking about your second vice on that thread.

Nick.

Nick Hughes:

Thanks for the link – it looks as though one of the relevant illustrations is from a 1935 catalogue, some considerable time after the vice's introduction. My 1933 Brown Brothers' catalogue lists only parallel bench vices but I suspect that the earlier types continued to be popular with the more agricultural trades; BB were, of course, suppliers to the motor trade.

Michael Gilligan:

I take your point about "Photoshopped" artwork and the manufacturer might have left his brand off so as to allow for others to market the item under their own brand – badge engineering.

In the pdf did you spot the 'water bearing' that (sort of) works like an air bearing?

And this one someone said it was a gunsmith vice
