Bench vise ID?

[Modern_fan]

Hi, I'm a new member. I apologize if this should go into a thread set aside for vises. I didn't see one here so I went ahead and posted. I'm sure they're discussed often.

Anyhow I have my great uncles old vise. It's been sitting for years. It looks like it's original color is light green. I've been looking and haven't found another like it. I sure would like to know what brand it is. Thanks!

Wasn't the V vises made by Milwaukee? sorry i don't know for certain, but that name seems to be in my head.

Thanks for the responses and info. If I get time I'd like to restore this old vise. I also have my dad's old Columbian D44
