12 forum posts 9 photos	This vice came with a turret clock I rescued from a derelict house in Kent in 2020. For the last 3 years, it's looked rather sad and rusty on my garage floor but this afternoon, I stripped it down, cleaned it all up, and I find now that its rather a nice vice, but there is no makers name on it anywhere. Most parts have "32" stamped on them apart from the vice itself which has "12". Looks to be very well made and vice jaws are 3" in length. Any ideas who made it?
