One of my vices is vises, Eclipse


  Eclipse is the name William Marples uses for their line of vises, this one would be categorized as an amateurs vice, with exposed screw and light build, it's rather flimsy looking. I expect the cast-in V7 and V6 are casting numbers, not a stock or model number.

    Apparently it was the Montgomery-Ward entry-level homeowner swivel-base vise in the 1940s:

    And you'd pay up to $1.75 elsewhere!
