| Description: |  | We have seen a couple of unmarked vises that strongly resemble this patent. One of the vises was marked with a patent date that was unreadable due to a thick coat of modern paint except that the year might be 1878 (which could be a misreading of 1879); the other did not have a patent date. Neither example was marked with a maker's name. |  |
