Comments:

This vise is the property of Gary Beck, who gave permission to use his photos. The vise is marked, "60 / FALCON", "MADE IN CANADA", "CRAFTOOL" [sic], and "LONDON". The use of "Craftool" rather than "Craftools" leads us to suspect that this is an early model of vise, likely made for the Canadian Army as part of the war effort. We have not seen any other vises from this maker using the "Falcon" name.
