I believe yours is an older version and therefore is not dated. Usually it's stamped on top of the slide.

Its a vise model 5162

Could you provide an overall pic? It looks like it's in fantastic shape.

Im in the process of refurbishing it, but I will take a picture of the vise in pieces so you can get an idea, and when Im done ill send another with the completion.

Heres the vise in its present state, I still need to work on cleaning up the Jaws and detail the screw & nut, as well as highlight the lettering on the side of the static housing, grease her up and assemble it, I was lucky to find this in my area for $50. I snatched it up quick.

When date stamped (not all were),its on top of slide, those big numbers/digits that are visible are not the date. This model with cast logo will be from 1939 to early/mid '40s. This model returned after the war, but with heritage badge logo.
