I'm not sure if they are made any more. I have one somewhere - it was one of my first "tools" about 30 years ago.

There are two companies that sell vises that look like the one in your original picture.

First is Dawn, a W.A. based company....

Look here under "pivot vise" (http://www.dawntools.com.au/prod02.htm#Pivot%20jaw%20WW)

Second is made by Jorgenson, which is part of The Adjustable Clamp Company.......
