Knock it out from the bottom with a pin punch and a deadblow hammer. It might take a few hard hits, but it'll move. I just did the same thing with my Parker.

Are you sure there is no access? Possibly covered in grime or something? Because that would be rare. Any chance it's threaded in from the top?
Can you grab a couple better pics from the bottom and a close-up of the pin from the top?

I recall having one that knocked out from the top, but there's gotta be a through hole there. Some degreaser and steel wool should reveal it.

Is your vise a Prentiss? It looks like a No.56 and mine has an access hole in the bottom. They will get covered with grime/rust/grease so it will need to be uncovered before it can be removed.
Some of my Athol's have a pin with a collar so they can be taken out from the top is there is enough room to fit a prybar underneath them.
If you still don't "see" a hole, take a measurement from the top side and transfer that to the underside. Use a small drift, big hammer and pray before you hit.
