I bought some odd vises yesterday at auction that I had never see the
like of before, love some details on the first 3 and any info on the
4th one.

Paid $27.50 each for the first 3 and the last one was in a huge lot of
(crap) tools that I bought...

the first vises are self centering vises, we used to run parts that needed
to have the machining centered to the part consistantly. you can make any
type of vise jaws that you need to hold the parts.

They are more jigs than vises, made to automatically center workpieces
in a manufacturing operation. It looks like they came out of a
production facility of some kind.

Beyond the fact that the first 3 are self centering vises, no info
anywhere on Heuser Mfg, must have not been successful marketing the
vises.
The 4th vise in the pictures turned out to be a Kurt Vise attachment
(aftermarket?), bolts to the back jaw and allows a stack of parts to
be clamped from the side as well as in the vise for machining multiple
parts.
