Newell Patent Vise

[enginebill]

I saved this Newell vise from the scrapper and as luck would have it, it fits perfectly (bolt holes line up in both directions) on my Windsor planer and is of the appropriate age for the machine. From what I can tell, Newell vises were used exclusively on Pratt & Whitney shapers but looks good on my planer.

Catalog scan from 1879. Not the best scan.
I have a 6" one.
