      My only vises now days are women and beer. Looking at your vise I would guess it is either a Phoenix or a repro of a Phoenix. The pictures aren't close up but I would venture to say it is probably original to sometime after 1885. I haven't collected them since the late 1990's so my memory may not serve well. Being unmarked this could as easily be a Columbian or a Lakeside (Lakeside was made by Columbian for Montgomery Wards but would have been marked.

      How wide are the jaws and what is the distance between the jaws when fully opened?
