I got this small clamp-on vise at a garage sale. Can anyone tell me anything about it. It's about three inches wide and the rear jaw slides on a dovetail. There's no name on it and I don't know if the orange paint is original.

Those are made under lots of names. They can attach to a truck bumper or if you work maintenance off a cart; you can add it to a corner of the cart.Pretty handy . I have one and I passed up on one at a sale Saturday. The only reason was they guys ad said tools and machinery . Complete false advertising when you got there. One electric plumbers snake and maybe 8 tools the vise being one of them,.No prices marked.
 
There are lots of clamp-on vises, I had never seen one where the back jaw moves. I think I paid $2 for it. Also got a real old valve spring compressor that uses a rack and pinion gear (like and arbor press) at the same sale.
 
Looks decent. I have no clue who'd have made it. I do know this much, small clamp on vices were common years back. I have a little one, maybe 2" wide and opens an inch or so. My Dad got is some place and hung it on the wall. It had an FW Woolworth tag on it and was marked about 69 cents IIRC. I've used it and it's a great little vice and would be considered pretty good quality today.

How times change!
 
Dang!

I thought a small vice was fooling around with your neighbor's wife.

Sure you don't mean "vise"?

Couldn't resist it.
 
This is the closest that I could find with the movable rear jaw.

There are others on the "net" that are a little bit smaller & of lighter construction and are listed as "Jewelers Vises".

Rats. My spell check doesn't like "vise" for some reason. Time to add it to the dictionary! :lol:
