That's a Wilton C3 6" combo vise! probably the best one they made. Everyone loves the style with the jaws that bolt on from the back. only the six inch model had those cut outs you're referring to. I wouldn't say uncommon, but they only did it for a certain frame of time. I don't know how long. If I remember right it was more than ten years(?) Consider yourself lucky if you can find one listed under $1000 in my area. they do come up cheap sometimes though. I just missed this one a week ago.
It's the number 11. There's been one that's got the Worth name branding on my local CL for $125 for a long time. There are a couple good videos on YouTube on how they work. You can also use it as a pipe wrench if you remove it from the base.
That "anvil" area on the back is somewhat hollow. There is a slot on the bottom for you to slide it over a bolt head.
Ya i had no idea what it was. The replaceable jaws clued me in that it might be something good. The guys in GJ had to tell me where to clean to look for the stamp. On member said these style jaws are very rare. They don’t appear in any of the catalogs. They discontinued the sweetheart line during WWII. You might also recognize the cabinet I bought too…..
Looks like you have plenty of other nice storage! Was that top originally painted? I’m redoing mine and I’m looking for that exact color on your cabinet too.
