Picked up a small box and found several nice pieces inside.
Clean Dunlap rule, Cman depth gauge, Starrett and Cornwell feeler gauges and a 629-3 Millers Fall string level (1950's ?).
That also had the Dunlap 107.1 ratcheting screwdriver and a clean Cman Circle H 3/8 breaker bar (goes with the BE bar I have).
Later I was talking to a landscaper selling bromeliads and we walked to his truck to get a business card, and as his garage door was open, I spied a small clamp on vise (one of my favorites) and I asked about it, he thru me a good price to start and it came home with me.
It's a type of quick release, actually more of a clamp, as you free it, push it to the wood and release and it's clamped in more or less. There is no screw.

Now that is an interesting piece. So it clamps onto a table sideways? Or at the corner? Any names or numbers?

John, no name on the vise, just a patent date 12/26/22 . Feels like vintage piece.
Here is a pic of a wood vise with a conventional screw. Clamps on corner of bench.

Those depth gauges are incredibly useful. I got mine from my revered Uncle Charlie, and have used it more times than I can count.

An interesting vise. It has pat. no. 1,439,822 which was issued to a Mr. Frank Johnson. According to DATAMP the maker is unknown.

Thanks Mike ! I think I saw that and didn't check - the vise "grip" threw me off, however it's accurate!
