Looks very much like a multi-purpose tool I saw in a small museum in
NSW, Australia, except more complete. I'll dig up the pictures, can I
send to the contact link on that site?

That is a Champion Combination Repair Outfit

It was part of a forging setup and included a few tools.
It is a combination of a drill press, grinder, vice, anvil, and would
have been attached to a portable forge.
Sort of an OLD Shopsmith...

I see in the original paperwork...it was considered too light duty for
serious work and was considered a hobby device.

Just like a shopsmith. Not the greatest machine, it doesn't do
everything well, but it does do everything. For round a house, or
small place where you can't justify "proper" tools - it works. For
some value of "works".

While digging through albums looking for the pics to send to Pete, I ran
across one, an Aussie Shopsmith, with what looks like a fairly hefty (by
home shop standards) 1/2" electric drill. A drill that could be removed
and used by hand. Interesting, must be an old one...

Sent a couple pics direct to Pete of a similar vise I saw in NSW, then
thought I have a bunch of pics from that trip some folks might like to
see. So here's the Picasa link:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/_fdNsXO3GVmANS-jVsNT3_FtNVYWyb7-VyklMNasmjY?feat=directlink

Some pics from a small museum in Young, NSW, a couple of a turn of the
century huge estate I hope to explore in the future, and a bunch of a
working roundhouse in Cowra, NSW, that is also a museum open to the public.
