5-1/2" Vise, weighs 39.5 lbs. I got this vise used in the mid-1990s and use it almost daily. I decided to give it a little TLC, again. Painted it anodized blue with red highlights.
The jaw plates are original and still in pretty good shape. looked on eBay to gauge the value and didn't see many, might be rare.

(Admin BAK, 9/8/2022: Added true manufacturer. This was the larger mechanics vise sold in Sears retail stores back then--many made and in service. Note-the jaws are reversible to get a smooth non-marring surface.)
