For sale: Rigger's clamp or splicing vise

I'm not a boat builder (other passions keep me busy enough!). I inherited this rigger's vise or splicing clamp from my uncle, and would like to see it happily occupied with someone who can use it.

As I understand it, these are used for work like holding loops/eyes in the end of cables while clamping or splicing them.

It's 9-1/2" long at the base and 7-1/2" high; around six pounds in weight. It's made from brass (or perhaps bronze; not sure how to know which), with the screws and the little retaining screws that keep the clamping screws in place from steel. No maker's name visible. From what I found online, a similar clamp/vise in aluminum is $260; I'm asking $80 or best reasonable offer plus postage. Cost of postage will depend on how far away from me you live, so please include your ZIP code in your message expressing interest.

 

Hi Bill,
Is this vise still available? I'm based in the UK.
Thanks

 

Hi Bill
