Looking for a Xuron/Thomas vise

[Gene L 0]

Just to add to my meager collection.  I like the way they look, but don't know how well they work, especially in light of modern vises.  If you know of one for sale, let me know.

That's the vise the Darbees tied on for MANY years. While there isn't one on his web site, Bob usually has 1 or 2 in his shop at the Classic Fly Fisherman.

Nice! Do you mind saying where you found it?

Classic Fly Fisherman, as recommended by Salarman.

Got it today.  It's like new, pedestal base and an extra set of jaws for larger hooks.  I'll post pictures later.  A neat looking vise.  Classic Fly Fisherman is a great person to deal with.

Poor photo

An elegant little vise, thanks for the photo. Have you tied on it yet?

Not yet. The weather is on my mind right now.  Looks like we're getting hammered  (relatively speaking) late tonight and most of tomorrow.
