I found this Cole Tool Co Vise or Cole Vise vise buried in the back of an old Blacksmith / Welding shop when the owner finally retired after being in this building for 72 years! He had it mounted to an old cast iron water fountain, and it was used primarily as a way to hold things he needed to weld because of it's ability to hold things at different angles. That is the reason the jaws and anvil top were in such bad shape.
The jaws on the vise are able to twist 360 degrees to be used at any angle. It also has a small anvil on the back of it that is a little larger than many other vises. The anvil section stays attached to the bench when the jaws are removed to be used for an oversized pipe wrench.
I restored this very unique vise in order to put it back into use in my shop, and I cant wait to use it!
There is also another attachment or tool that allows the vise to be used as a Drill Press / Post Drill. I don't have that attachment, so if you happen to know where I can get my hands on one, PLEASE comment below!!
If you're interested in more information about this vise, here is a link to the original sales brochure that shows both the Cole Vise and Cole Drill in more detail, it's pretty cool!! Check it out: rustyiron.com/literature/ColeDrill.pdf
