Lewis Tool Co. was incorporated Feb. 1894 in New York City, plant location unknown. By 1904, the company was at 708 Railroad Ave., Bridgeport, CT. One of their specialties was vises for constructing bicycle frames. Lewis Tool Co. had overlapping directors with Prentiss Vise Co., and was the only other vise manufacturer in the 1896 catalog of Prentiss Tool & Supply Co. of New York City, assumed to be another related company. Lewis appears to have been operated as a separate business, with its own plant, designs, patents, and advertising.
