Has anybody seen something like this? I can't find any information on it. Found it for sale on Ebay at the normal super inflated price that thugs sell for there.

More of a curiosity piece.  Popular in the late 1880's to around 1920's.  Combo anvil/vise/drill.  Rare to find them with all of their parts.  Not really that useful in a shop; none of the parts work as well as individual tools.

Yeah seemed pretty worthless to me as having too many functions making it not really that good at any of them.

If they were were being marketed today, they would be a late night infomercial between the Sham-Wow and the Wunder Hose. Where is Billy Mays now that we need him?

I have an old Stewart Handy worker from around the turn of the century. Mine sits on an old milking stand and I LOVE IT!
I pet it sometimes on my way by.
May work for small stock, but if you had things to fix and nowhere to work these were just the ticket :)
Probably sold by Sears... back in the day.
Some things don't need to be useful- just beautiful is enough.
