Looks like the typical import swiveling body vise, Taiwan or China mad most likely.

I don't know when the first Asian rotator vises started flooding the market, but I had one in the late 80's, and I believe they had been around for years then. That does look somewhat bigger than most; commonly they have 5" main jaws.

Note that vise is missing both sets of pipe jaws.

Im sure it feels heavy, but I highly doubt its over 100 lbs.
