Who Built this Vise?

[Kbota]

Recently bought it from a guy off of craigslist. His Dad had worked for one of the big chemical plants in south Texas, and had recently passed. This vise had been "surplused out" by the plant. Son was selling off Dads tools so Mom could sell and move.

It's a massive vise with 6" jaws that open a full 9+ inches.
It weighs around 80+ lbs.

The only ID I can find is in the casting on the side where it says;

SUPREME MARK VI. It works like a champ. Worth $40 anyway.

Wow! I was sure someone had an idea.

Oh well, at least I scored a great vise at low cost.

Thanks anyway guys.

The logo on the side looks a bit like the one on my box of thin mints.

First I've ever seen that name or a vise that looks like it. Nice score at $40. I'm sure you'll find a way to sleep at night <grin>.

I like the top of the jaws. They make a good anvil. Within reason, of course!
