Brevete was a French type of patent that as of 1968 no longer exists, so I guess we can at least say that vice is over 50 years old.

Been looking for a used Gressel for ages but all you get is refurbished ones costing the same or more than a brand new one
So why buy old when new is cheaper

This vice is brilliant worked with one a few months back my old Vice has this wobble on the jaws so when you lightly snug up the vice it has a tendency to shift and the item being lightly clamped can fall out due to play in the system, but this Gressel is solid when you lightly snug up the item it won't shift or move especially clamping something with an odd shape

We've all had vices we can't afford. Mine was called Caroline and was a cheerleader.

did Caroline know about Gressel? --- you did say viceS
careful, we might get a yellow card for going off-topic

I don't remember her saying, but then again, I don't remember an awful lot of talking.

another old catalogue:
never seen the Premier Instantaneous - obv a variation on a Parkinson design and I have a quite diff Premier vice, not patent. Again, never seen the Free-Slide - that's a different design, guessing made by the same manufacturer, prob UK.
The two top vices on first shot look like Parkinson's, but the woodwork vice has slightly diff sizes and this was when others (Record, Woden) started to copy - I have a 7in of this type, no name but v fine casting.
The spring-loaded vice clamps in brass or beech (up to 5ins) look useful --- there's a project for anyone.
Anyone know more? - the catalogue is yet another London retailer - there's a price increase insert dated 1915, so let me guess 1910.
Free to use
