A Craftsman 5196 was just posted on TheeBay about an hour ago. Would love to bolt it down, but not for $450:

I found what may be the debut advertisement for the Craftsman 5176/5169 series vise: Sears 1947 Christmas Catalog. So, the dates for this vise now appear to be 1947 to 1957. A great vise that is still holding work on my bench today.
