Found in Eastern Ontario on the auction site, Maxsold, this is an anvil/vise of unusual configuration. It's been sold for $57. No idea who made it, anyone?
Thanks, Ken1

Looking at this picture, that "tongue" on the bottom is interesting and must (maybe?) play some part in how the vise is mounted:
The pin and hole method of adjusting the jaw opening is a lot like the "Chaney" patent from 1914, but whether this one is a predecessor or a copy or what, I just don't know:
It is probably some kind of wagon anvil, used for repairs while on the dirt road... I have seen them with hollow cores for sliding the wagon shaft through. But that makes it fracture-prone. This may be a differing schema.

Sure would be interesting to take a wire brush to it and look for some kind of name on it.
