Miter vise

[Art Bichsel]

Didn't give a lot for it ($5) but it is intrigueging to me. See if I can post some photos here.

And since I haven't posted here in about 10 years, the board is different

I think it is a mitre or joiner

So what do I have here?
Thanks in advance

Welcome back!

I changed the title to something useful, so it can be searched, per PM rules.
Next time it will just be deleted if you don't take the hint to do it yourself..

Thanks Stephen.
I changed careers and it seems that the board changed a bit too.
Hopefully someone will recognize what I have here.

It looks like a miter vise......
With a custom hold down but not sure what the squared off pin is under the hold down.
Your pics make it hard to see what is going on. Stand back and take better pictures.
Put a piece of wood in and clamp it and then take a photo. It appears the lever on the bottom pushes up on the squared off pin?
It must be a custom fixture for some unknown purpose involving miter assembly. I assume you already knew that though.
Take off the extra stuff and you have a nice miter vise which is very handy.
