Herters made some good reloading equipment. I would think the vise is pretty good as well. I don't tie very often but I need to do more of it

That Herters sure look like a robust design. That is some casting!

Does seem very stable. I need to drag some of the tying stuff out and make a few gray ghost

Thought for a minute about tying but by the time I invested in everything needed probably wouldn’t be a feasible undertaking.
Beside at my age, almost 67, time is more important than money. [emoji23]
Great find as usual DSJ.

I got into it for something to keep me busy. Now I have so much to keep me busy it is hard to find the time to do it. Pretty good feeling to take some fish with lures you have made.

That vice looks unique. I have a couple Herter's jig molds here somewhere.

I did not know they made tying vises. I know the name from reloading equipment. The reloading stuff was popular in the 50's and 60's

I don't think they had the luck they wanted with jig molds. The Eire mold has a loose hinge pin and does not close tight or aligned very well. But who knows how old it is and how many jigs it made before it went to the sale barn.
