1947 Ad

This company made grinding arbors, saw mandrels, and Majestic cast iron bench vises. As of this writing, there is a vise on eBay marked Majestic Tool Works, but otherwise they are marked Majestic Chicago. The vises are fairly common, and there has been speculation about the company on Garage Journal, including that it was connected with Morgan Vise Co., but no definitive answers.

Majestic vises with these catalog numbers appear on the internet: 30, 34, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 50A. The 1953 catalog reference below has numbers 3, 3A, and 4A.
