I bought it solely because I needed a vise (or 3) and I thought it looked cool. Now I am just curious about it.

If I'm bored this winter I may paint it.

It appears to be a No. 4 Canadian, LOL

No seriously, looks like an RAE similar to this one https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=186903&d=1337345392

Looks like a nice vice good luck with it.

It looks like a RAE vise. Made in Hamilton Ont at one time. They are a good decent vise. BCD

Makes sense. No RAE markings, all it says is 'canadian'. What colour should I make it? Bright red with metal letters?

Alright, so it's an RAE with different markings. Thanks for the help all.
