Old Tools Brought Back to Life

A clamp on or standard vise is necessary for working on Ruger single actions, I bought a Jorgensen about 15 years ago. Dad has/had one just like the OP's, and one that was a clamp on wood vise, both by Mercury. I'd say they were from the late 50's. Ivan
 
Part of my hammer collection. The horizontal hammers on the right don't have any real collector value. They include hammers given as presents when people found out that I've been collecting hammers. Some were old rusted hammer heads that I cleaned up and replaced the handles.
The vertical hammers on the left are the collectables. Including a Maydole manufactured between 1840 and 1923 with the original handle and some original finish left. An Atha before they were bought out by Stalney in 1913. A 1900 Cheney in like new condition. A pre 1840 strap hammer with the original handle and a Colonial age hand forged hammer head that was pinned to the handle with 2 iron nails pounded flat and pnned to the handle. I just need to find that elusive double claw hammer.

I have a gazillion hammers. One for every occasion. I don't have any real collectibles that I know of.

I'm crazy for my tools.

Great thread and a real nice vice -db-. :D
