Can anyone tell me anything about this vise ? I would guess the logo is F W ?

I give up. I did some internet searching, but there isn't much to go on.  :/

I'll bet the "F" stands for  "forge" the "W" is most likely the company name. So Williams or Wilton come to mind, any others?

If only Abe Lincoln had followed through on his inspiration about the internet, so that all those 19th-century product catalogs were online, we'd be fine   :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
