I picked this up at a FM last Sunday from a guy who is showing up more often. Jaws are 1 1/2 in. wide. The interesting part, to me anyway, is the inverted 'V' shaped guide over the screw. I don't have any other ones made like this.
The shield logo that is cast in the side, appears to have a B in the lower part of the shield. A look at AA shows a logo similar to this for Bonney.

Given that Bonney Forge & Tool Works started life as Bonney VISE & Tool Works, I'm surprised we don't see more of them...
Very nice :)

That is nice. Imagine scaling that vise up to six inch size, talk about a good heavy design.

Bonneyman approves this thread!

That sure is a nice looking vise!

It is a great looking vise.
The design speaks volumes tho.
The jaw part rides on a nice V , just like a lathe carriage.
It is a very stable way to mount something that slides, perhaps the best way there is.
It also requires grinding the V flat, and true, and the part that fits over it, just like making a lathe.
There is no way a vise requiring this much post casting machine work was going to compete with a box in a hole design....
Best of class isn't always best in market.
