Hi Clemet! I recently acquired a post vise with these EXACT specs and pictures to match yours (5 1/2 jaws and stamped 20 on the bottom and also the exact same Columbian Hardware info/log on the top as yours)(mine was also painted red but I get the impression that the paint wasn't original...

It's so close!! But it has zero manufacturer embossment anywhere in the metal. It's a solid 39 lbs. It's 5 1/2 jaws and the bottom states 51871-03 which is mostly thought to be Craftsman but it has all the shapings and contours of a Columbian! That's why I'm so confused! lol

I recently acquired this vise off Marketplace. I am very new to all this and have done A LOT of web searches and image searches and am very confused by this vise. It doesn't have a manufacturer stamp anywhere. It has an aluminum Wilton sticker. Says 51871 on the bottom like it's a Craftsman...
