Thank you for dropping in.

A guy i know just picked this up. Doesn't know what he has. These are the only 2 pics i have. I think it's a walker turner. Any info anyone may have would be great. Thanks!

Looks like my Atlas DP. Great vise too.

Could be Atlas or Craftsman rebranded Atlas:

The blue paint is the deciding factor. It's a Craftman/Atlas. The four handles mark it as somewhere between 1938-1942 (approx.). The oval decal remnant would be from an SKF bearing decal.

The model number would begin with 101. .
If it has the original base, there would have been a data tag riveted near the post with the model number on it.

The original switch would have been on the other side, a hole in the head near the grease cup. If the switch plate was oval, then the date would be early in the range I gave you. If the switch plate was rectangular, then it was made after 1940.

First or second shift?
