Subject: [Leica] IMG: Leg Vise from the Past

When I? was about 10 years old, in the 1930s, this old leg vise was 
mounted beneath a large Sweet Gum tree as a part of an outdoor 
blacksmith shop? where my Dad did repairs on his meager farm equipment 
used on our small farm in Mississippi. Since my Dad's death, the vise 
has followed me as a part of the tools that I find handy. I gave it a 
coat of paint some years ago, and I keep grease on the screw. It still 
provides faithful service just like it did when new, 100 years ago. 
Mounted to a bench in my garage, I still see it every day, and find it 
useful about once a month.? I checked, and similar ones are still 
offered for sale today.
