<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 239004, member: 33&quot;]I have found that there was somebody named Hermann B. Dipworth living in Saginaw, Michigan in the early 20th century. He was a picture framer and patented a miter-clamp vise for use in framing pictures. This was filed in 1910:</p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/patents/US960159" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/patents/US960159" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/patents/US960159</a></p><p><br /></p><p>He was probably the owner of a company called Dipworth Art Co.
