Hard to tell the model # with nothing around it to use as a comparison. It looks like a No. 973 which is about 25-30lbs.

The model # is on the other side of the vise and so should the vise key used to tighten/loosen the swivel nut. Make sure it has that. They are hard to come by if not.

like said, hard to tell, but looks like 3 or 3.5"...easy to move around etc...

I'd guess 3" too

So this is the 22x model. Can't find much info on it. 4" jaw width the guy said. Asking $85. Going to look at it later.

How much? In my market I'd pay no more than 40...maybe 50. But they are somewhat "not scarce" around here either and I wait for deals.
