Thank you all for your input and information, this was super helpful for me. You all are a very kind group and even if I don't remain active I appreciate the warm welcome.

Thank you for this! That brand makes the most sense to me and I'll look into it more. It has been cleaning up pretty well with a lot of surface rust pretty much. Obviously some deeper too. The screw as far as I can tell is in really good shape, I can't see any rust on it. Also thanks for telling me I was missing the finial and what it was called Located in Massachusetts, thinking about selling it as I don't have too much use for it. But it's a well crafted tool that's for sure and that alone makes it tempting to keep.

Hello! I recently stumbled upon this vise while cleaning and am not a blacksmith or expert. I created an account just to post this because I'm going crazy. Any idea which brand or age post vise this could be? The measurements can be seen, but I would guess this thing weighs at least 50 lbs. I have googled and crossed reference so many pictures but I haven't seen anything that matches, plus I can't find any markings on the vise for the life of me. The closest thing I can see is maybe an Iron City? Other Q's: Does this have all the parts? The only thing I see on a lot of other vises is a little endcap on the screw. I have the nub there but a lot of others have a bell type. Any idea of what it's worth? Thank you so very much!
