I understand that sometimes it is impossible to identify the manufacturer but any help or advice would be appreciated. The jaws are 6 inch wide approx and around 41 inch high, it's in pieces at the moment for a deep clean and lube up thank you all for any help you may be able to provide

Knowing where it was purchased can help ID things at times.  If you bought a used car in Moscow PA it would be unlikely to be a Lada and if you bought it in Moscow Russia it would unlikely to be a Ford...

Only thing possibly distinctive I could see was the screwbox; but I don't generally care who made my vise; just that it works well and so I haven't paid attention to variations in the screwboxes.

Hi, was purchased from Nottingham in the UK. I only ask as the history of old tools interest me. Helps to imagine where and what a tool might have been through in its life before it got to me. I'm perfectly fine in not knowing and I'm very happy with the vice.
