I believe it was made in late 1940 – early 1950. I have strip vice down & cleaned, oiled all parts so in good working order the only thing is the 4 pin jaws are missing (should be able to replacement made).
Specification:
Jaw size is 445mm x 180mm with a metal 100mm jaw on one 445mm side.
The maximum open width is 420mm, the jaw can be offset by 55 – 60mm along 445mm length.
The vice can be rotated by 360° in addition you can lift vice 90° from horizontal into vertical position.
