Help identifying this vise

[Lolaralph]

I was given this today as an older friend knew I was looking for a 3" vise. I can find no identifying marks on it anywhere. Even under the swivel there is nothing. It appears very well made, no slop anywhere. All my friend knew was it came from his Father in law's garage. He thought it may have been there since at least the 60's. It appears to have been a dark blue when new.
No markings makes me think cheap Asian import but it appears too well made. Any help will be appreciated.

Almost looks like a Millers Falls, maybe newer than this one.

Thanks for the info, it definitely could be a version of that brand
After some searching I was thinking Brink and Cotton perhaps

I believe it's a Wilton Juno no. 1106 vise, "Made in the USA". Your vise is missing the removeable pipe jaws and cut-off tool, but other than that, it looks to be in very good condition for a vise that was offered by Wilton from (1950-1953).

Wow, I never would have guessed i am the owner of a Wilton, but I would agree that it is an 1106 after seeing that ad. The 2 square recesses in the jaws must be for the pipe jaws, so that explains that mystery. I thought i was probably missing a cutoff insert.
Now I wonder if I can find repro decals for it.
Thanks so much for the information, that was a great discovwry.

Contact Wilton directly and ask.

I can give it a shot I guess.

I did for one of my Wilton vises, and they sent me two of the sticker decals at no charge.

That is great news, I’ll reach out to them Monday. I‘m concerned they may not have anything due to the vintage of this vise but it’s worth a try

Shoot, missed the hardy in the 4th pic, that would have changed my mind.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to what would have been the original color for these 1106 vises. Mine appears to be the blue that is visible on the underside but I’d like to hear form someone who has seen other 1106’s.
