This looks pretty much like a machinist's bench vise except:

+ No jaw inserts
+ Contact area for the jaws is much larger than usual.
+ Jaws are much taller then usual, tapering toward the top, giving
clearance to file at a steep angle.
+ No swivel base.

That's about it. On mine, no swivel base, the upward taper of the
jaws is more exagerated and it's probably numerous decades older than
that one.
