I'll keep an eye out for anything that looks similar. Sears and M Wards battled it out for a while, again, from reading. Unfortunately, both look to be ending up in the history books with a similar death. There may be markings on the bottom I didn't check....but not too excited about removing...

I'd still lean towards the Wilson. The handle looks to be a perfect copy. Bottom is not like the shop king....but a lot more similarities than others I've seen, especially on top. M. Wards did not make their own, at least from what I can find, so re-branded others. Doesn't mean they didn't...

Found the following on Ebay. Bottom is different, top looks pretty close. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wilton-Shop-King-Swivel-Bench-Vise-3-1-2-Jaws-w-Hardy-attachnment-/252609273686?hash=item3ad0af9f56 Thanx all. Also had no idea that was a Hardy tool.

Vise I can use help identifying Uncle gave me the following Montgomery Wards vise. Reading, seems they re-branded Wilton and others. https://goo.gl/photos/z1HhhELAQg987SB59 Anyone know what the original brand was? Curious. I had to angle grind off rust etc and it is in excellent shape...
