Default Pyramid Vise?

Somewhere in my travels I picked up a rather compact Pyramid vise. Interesting in that its a clamp on, but has three different adjustments. Rotate on axis 360 degrees, tilts on its axis 180 degrees and of course opens and closes. I picked it up thinking it might be super for working on small internal gun parts (triggers/pins etc.).

Anyone familiar with this type vise? And because a Picture is worth a thousand words, one is attached.

PS. Probably weights about 5 lbs or so. Also, any idea on date?





Double PS. Please feel free to move this. Wasn't sure where it fits in the forum exactly, but figured more folks would see it posted here.

Have seen owned and used a bunch of Vises, never came across that one. It's real nice.

Wow. I'd be using that one all the time. What a great little vise.

Jaw's are 2" wide and open about 1 1/2". Seems like the real deal for working on small parts on doubles because the angles/directions allowed to access the small parts to work on them are about endless. Also has a very small 1 1/2" x 2" flat spot on top side for peening things. Whomever built this thing many many moons ago knew what they wanted.
