Default vintage hand held fly-tying vice

I saw one of these on that damned website, like the one in the photo on the back of Les Magee's north country fly fishing book. Iron. Paint brush style handle with vice head.

Does anyone know how much are they worth, and what they go for at auction?

Without a photo, it's not so easy. However there is a demand for some of the older style vices mainly from tyers in the U.S. especially if there's a makers name stamped on it. I don't think you're likely to be able to pay for your retirement in Hawaii with it though, but you might get a few quid for it.

Most of these were re-made by the tyer from small engineering vices, so are one-offs which will never command a price as high as a purpose made unit.
