-------About The Littco No. 112 Vise and Littlestown Hardware and Foundry Company -------
The “Littco” no. 112 vise – the everyday handyman’s vise for the garage or basement workshop. One of many mass-produced vises in the 1950’s for general garage and household use, vise enthusiasts run across dozens (if not hundreds) of Littlestown no. 112’s over their years of collecting.

Littlestown Hardware and Foundry Company, Inc. was started in 1916 as a grey iron foundry with sixteen employees. During WWII, they produced hand grenades, rifles, bomb plugs, and anti-personnel mines for the war effort. Post-WWII they expanded into aluminum castings, but their bread and butter was always the “Littco” vise line.
