Rock Island Vice outside Tulsa OK

In the old days Rock Island was noted for vice in addition to making vises.

I believe the company that made the Rock Island vise went under in the 1950s.
 
oh well, most of the old pipefitters, welders, and pipeliners I grew up with and around were known for their vices as well, it never interfered with the quality of their work. But I know nothing about Rock Island or their history. I do remember an old song about the railroad.
