It is a Record 52e given to my father in 1947 as a reward for raising the alarm when a local business caught fire. (he was asked what he wanted).
This is the 3rd bench it has been fixed to as the others succumbed to wet rot and woodworm etc. That's why the latest bench sits on aluminium feet and is held off the wall with brackets.
Record stuff from that era is the dogs bollocks. I have bought 2 similar vices for less than £20 each off ebay and are so much better than the modern 'Irwin' equivalent.
I am going to try and make one of these next:
