The huge vise is one my Dad bought used in Roswell NM. Maybe it has alien origins. Grin.

That poor anvil has been abused far beyond it's usefulness. The hard plate has separated, making it pretty much useless for anything but an anchor. But I bet at one time it got more use than any tool around and it could tell some stories for sure...

Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.
