Stan,
I just googled The gunsmith Shop. Fine art America sells prints of it. |

Interesting way to mount a post vice. A blacksmith would attach the post to the ground or to a block of wood on the ground so that it would absorb heavy hammer blows. That's the purpose of the leg. I suppose a repair gunsmith wouldn't need the vice for that purpose -- and back in the day you used what you had.

i have seen a post vice mounted like that in a gunsmith shop -
i do like the center hole creel on the wall - that is an early design which fits the time period of the village out the window

I have a post vise mounted much like that in my shop. Many post vises are still in use by fine craftsmen.
Here's a couple links to Marcello Giuilani working on Perazzis, using a post vise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_6jzMl8kDA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RudIDm41-ao SRH |

I'm not a total idiot, and haven't worked as a machinist for fifty years, but my 130 pound Parker vise is mounted to a wooden bench as are a couple of lesser ones. "To each his own". Post mounted vises are for those who need them.

I have one that still needs to be mounted
I went to a flea market a couple years ago with one of the top modern longrifle makers and he spotted one for sale, and told me I’d not see a better one at that price - so I hauled it home
