One of my vices is vises; Another Smart

Just another run-of-the-mill exposed-screw, 3 inch utility vice from James Smart of Brockville. We've covered that Brockville, Ontario company that closed in 1967 after casting and forging everything metal for a lot of years. Their vises appear all the time around here. This one is only marked with the cryptic 7-11. Apparently, the name Smart was on a decal on the front of the moving jaw. The method of attaching to a bench is unusual, but perhaps it's the interface for a missing rotating locking base. Just doesn't look finished.
