Any help identifying this vise?

Picked this up tonight, but the only markings besides Made in USA are the numbers V-110, V111, and V112. One per piece of the vise. It has 4" jaws if that helps. I also picked up a mini Babco vise and a craftsman bench grinder. Pics for your viewing pleasure :D

EDIT: Internally, block in the center is labeled V22.

Would other pictures help? I don't see any other markings, but I don't really know what to look for.

I have no idea on teh brand name but that is a nice looking little combo vise. The slide looks to be fully machined like a classic machinsts vise.

Based off that I looked around at old Milwaukee vises. It's definitely closer than where I was, but I can't find anything that matches. I see similar V numbers - maybe those are specific to Milwaukee? Seems like the "-1" at the end of each number indicates made in Japan instead of US.

I see some had badges instead of cast markings, but none that match this one or have the same V numbers.

In the meantime I just stripped it, wire wheeled all the bare parts, and started painting it.

Hah, no blue angels colors, but here's some pics. Really just wanted to get rid of the rust and the nasty green.
