What vise is this?

Can't find a name anywhere on it. One side has 335 stamped on it. The other has V14, V15, and Made in USA.

Picked it up today in my neighborhood, at an estate sale. $5.

I figured 'Made in USA' was easily worth the fiver!

I cannot be sure, but Milwaukee Tool Company seems to label their casting parts with numbers that begin with "V". They were a supplier to Montgomery Wards as well as others.

Thanks for the reply. I'm near Ft Worth, TX and that was Monkey Wards headquarters back in the day.

Most likely the less expensive no name so as not to compete with the "Master Quality" line.
It was sold as "Lake Side" also.

V#s here also, with a name, same style, no 'Made In' cast on vise.

3" about 13 lbs.

With non ferrous jaws

I found one with the Milwaukee stamp but made in Japan

Thanks y'all. I took it all apart today looking for a name, but never found one. I did find V3 stamped on the bottom plate like the picture above, and the original paint is that same blue/grey. Sure points to it being a Milwaukee.
