 I've had this peculiar vise for ages, and thought it might be a saw vise designed for sharpening small handsaws. The ad below, reproduced in a history book, enlightened me. I presume that the vise was used to hold adjacent sections of the leather harness in place before sewing them together.  |

Maybe I can embark on a second career in boot repair, but I need one more tool and it will be my last stand.

It could be possible that some saw sharpening vises had a dual purpose,
especially in hand stitching chaps together.
