It's a hand vise, used to hold small metal objects like when filing or grinding on them or bending, anywhere you need to hold a small piece of metal securely while working on it. Not sure about when it would have been made. X2

^^^^^ It's about 350 miles from the closest road; it will probably be sitting there for a while. Lots of other cool stuff there; old belt driven equipment like the grinding wheel pictured, lathes, huge band saws, drill presses, etc.

^^^^^^ Is there any demand for old belt drive hardware and equipment? I see you have some. Lots of interest a few years ago my cousins auctioned off their dads stuff including an entire shop of belt drive tools and in many cases it bought way way more then the modern stuff Frankly your sitting on a small gold mine there if you could get it out

Yes if you don’t want to do it give me location and i will do it
Just a heads up the beltway at the top of that last photo is worth salvaging as well

If it's over 300 miles from a road, how in billyhill did they get the stuff in there to begin with?
