Old vise

This is a 50+ year old Craftsman 5242 vise.  I've had it 30 years, and got it from my dad who owned it 20-30 years.  It's moved from house to house, and will last forever if future owners prevent major rust.  The reason for this photo is that I am considering doing light painting and wanted to try something similar on a small scale.  If nothing else, this could be useful for dramatic product photography.
