Jim,
I have one very similar. Back jaw moves instead of the front. Very stout The logo's different thought. It has an upper case "P" inside a circle, with a double ended arrow through the leg of the "P". All I know about it is that it was made in Poland. Mark "Jim Geib" wrote in message . .. I have this bench vise I would like to find the manfg. of.

I have a vice that sounds similar, but not marked with FPU, but it is marked "India" (on the washer that keeps the main screw in place). I bought this vice in a surplus place, and have no idea how it got here from India. Joe Gwinn |

Joe,
I have had mine completly apart and I have not found any "made in xxx" The vise seems to well constructed for India more like maybe Poland.
