niveker 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2021 The vise in that auction looks like a 'customized Heinz 57' vise, although I could be wrong as DH Thompson did have a good number of different style vises. Here more info than most probably want to know: Early D. H. Thompson Fly Tying Vise collection DH Thompson and Herter - the companies and their vises, by Dennis Stead. @Coin - so did you take the plunge yet?

Once again I am having a hard time telling myself that this is something I should do. I live in Tucson Arizona and there isn't a whole lot of places to go with out driving for a hour or more other than a city park pond. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you are probably right. I looked at the video of all the Thompson collection and didn't see one that looked like that vise. Thanks to Niveker for posting that video.

They had a Byron vise that sells on Amazon for 129.00. The one I bought was for 70.00 on Ebay. Looks nice anyway, I guess I will know more in a week.

Charlie1947 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2021 I have the vise you want! It works. However, I'm 74 and very Arthritic, so I went to the Peak. I just couldn't use the vise because of the pain caused by operating the vise over and over! I'm sure you don't have that problem! It will do a good job for you! Sometime in the future when you budget changes you may want to upgrade, then I suggest the Peak. It will last forever or a very long time, which ever comes first! The main thing, just relax and enjoy! If I can help let me know! Many tight lines! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
