The company manufactured bench vises and a folding saw vise from 1923 into the 1940s. There are several past auction listings of Franklin vises. We have seen an auction listing for a 1925 catalog page ad showing a full size Franklin bench vise. Their other products appear to have been hardware specialties, which are miscellaneous low price, high-volume items. They were a reorganization of Clipper Tool Co.
