Great looking one family owned vise.
They were made on Oliver St in Boston.
Looks in very good shape.
Walworth was the original maker of the stillson wrench as well.

im now searching around for some of those.  the farm used to have someone come and service their old "Rigid wrenches" way back when.

just found a 'wizard no. 9' circa 1922 kicking around.  kinda  a useless pipewrench but cool none the less.

That's awesome. I like when there is family history behind it. There has been some viseporn around the forum the past few years.
