Big combination vise missing the pipe jaws. Man if that is original blue...wow.

Looks like you’ve found a previously unknown model vise.

It sure does look to be Rock Island made.

This vise was made by Rock Island under contract for Craftsman. Have a look at the vise repair thread and you'll see several of these. The Rock Island model number for this same vise is 543B.
