Or maybe you have. Trying to get info on this very unusual item. Here's what I posted in a previous reply:

Came across this most unusual vice with cams and swiveling front jaw. Can't seem to find any information on it i.e., what the heck is it? It is manufactured by Montgomery & Co. Inc. NJ and has a 4" opening. Also looking for opinions as to its potential value as I intend to offer it for sale. Thanks for looking.

I don't know....could it be used as some sort of "metal bender". As you tighten the vise, the cams move to form a smooth bend?

i'm sure it could be used a bender but with the taper on top of the swivel jaws, I doubt that is what it was designed for. This is a swivel jaw vise and the one above might do the same.
