Does anyone here have one of these vises, or one similar to it? I'm looking for some measurements.

I bought this Hartford Special Machinery Co. quick-acting vise at a yard sale a few months ago, and I'm wondering if anyone out there could help me out with some photos/measurements of the missing parts (lever, etc) so I can make replacements. I can figure it out without dimensions, but it would be nice to make it as close to original as possible. I've seen similar, if not identical, vises marked Fenn. Thank you!

Control arm bushings - how stiff should they be?

I've got a 2012 Toyota Corolla (2ZR-FE), and I'm trying to track down a mysterious clunking sound coming from the front end. Right now I'm looking at the control arm rear bushings. In the video I'm prying up on the control arm; if I can I'll post another in a minute of prying radially. Prying up there seems to be quite a bit of flex in the bushing - should there be that much? I haven't pulled it out, and I can't see all the way around, but it doesn't seem torn. This is the passenger side; the driver's side is probably a bit looser. Is this normal?

Found a ring at the thrift store, any idea what it is?

I got this in a paper envelope with some sewing machine parts at the Goodwill outlet. It's marked JF and 14k inside, and of the original 33 stones, 11 small ones and the large one that was in the center are missing. I have no idea whether the stones are precious or not, and I'm not sure how to tell. I used the "identify maker" flair because I couldn't apply them all, but I'd really like to know whatever anyone can tell me about it. Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated, thanks!
