Default Interesting bench vise, pic posted to the dropbox

While in Australia last month, we found time to visit the Binalong Motor
Museum in Binalong, NSW. It's a combination of personal vehicles and
items loaned by other institutions, and is well worth a visit if you're
passing by.

While wandering about the restoration workshop I spotted a very
interesting bench vise. The jaws are offset to the right such that long
lengths of material can be clamped vertically. Posted a pic and
description to the dropbox.
Dawn40S_BenchVise.jpg and Dawn40S_BenchVise.txt are the files.

The one I saw is a Dawn 40S and was made in Australia. I'd love to have
one similar to this. Given the cost of shipping to and from Oz, I'd love
to find something similar here in the US. Has anyone seen one like this
here and recall the manufacturer?
I just spent 20 minutes on ebay and came up with nothing. I'll bet they
are rather rare.... ($$$)
