I had a 49 Dodge pickup and if I remember correctly portions of the bed was bolted together with square nuts. So I would think this barrel vice would be a product of the fifties. My 2 cents.

The gunsmiths family bought the house in 1920 , for 350.00
I found a note with a piece of newspaper taped to it ,that said, ( found this newspaper on wall behind wall paper )
,the date on news paper was 1895 .
So the square nuts might have been in the barn from long ago.

Here is a pic of the gunsmiths father, who ran the stage route ,when it was Horses and wagon , up and through when it changed to automobiles.

He was also,a master class 22 cal NRA indoor shooter in 1960

He probably put it together with what he had on hand utilizing parts from different eras.

Exactlywhat happened , the barn and house are from sometime around the late 1800 s.
Here is a pic of the town from around then.

Here is a 1922 semi famous pic that was made into a postcard , two of these kids are brothers of the gunsmith , who was born 2 years later.

Good stuff cornshank. That trout made for a nice picture but I'm guessing he was just happy to help provide some dinner for the family.
