Nmhunter, congratulations on the Autocrat.
I love mine and use it daily. I originally posted some questions about the Autocrat in the main vise thread “The VISES of Garage Journal and I received a good bit of history and information about the Autocrat. Since there are over 2000 pages in the thread, I have no idea where I posted the questions; however, I did copy some of the information in my Autocrat rebuild thread and you may find it interesting.

11b30b4’s Columbian D44 M5 and Autocrat 415 refresh
More than likely, neither of these vises are “vintage” but they are both Made in the USA. Rather than a complete rebuild, this is mostly a refresh of these vises. First, the Columbian D44 M5 was gifted to me by my sister. It was in good shape, but I decided to clean it up and repaint it...

The VISES of Garage Journal
11b30b4, I'll bet you were asking about the Autocrat because they have a pretty big anvil area.---As Shift said, ''not good to beat on vise anvils'', they are practically there just as a selling point.---Many a vise is in the scrap yard because they were used as an anvil.---Anything cast iron...
