Another vise Id thread. Nothing exciting.

I don't care if it's worth anything. It's trashed and I got it super cheap. Looks kinda cool too. I'm curious to see how far I can get "restoring" it. Anyways, there's no obvious marks on it. Screw's semi frozen. Any idea on a rough date and maker?

Just a few mid point pics. I didn't think the rust would come of, but it did. Breaking everything loose was fun. The thread screw doesn't move the floating jaw. I'm guessing the screw on it is a set screw? If so, the collar on the thread screw is worn enough that I can't find the sweet spot to set the set screw. I know I'm putting more effort into this then it's worth, but I've never messed with rusted vises before. Wife thinks I'm nuts.IMG_20220628_172203750_HDR.jpgIMG_20220625_090533059_HDR.jpgIMG_20220625_090526344.jpgIMG_20220629_055528325.jpg
