Boller's Carpenter's Vise

Peter Boller Machine Works manufactured one of the vise designs of prolific inventor John R. Long. Sold in 1928 as Boller's Carpenter's Vise, the design appears very similar to the later Versa-Vise, manufactured by The Will-Burt Co. and Jon-Mar Gear & Machine Co. In advertising, the Boller vise is identified with his name and one of Long's patent dates, Jan. 29, 1901.
