Garage Journal vise thread can nail it down and probably show you the catalog page it was first listed in.

I was able to find this advert for 1926: https://static.miraheze.org/visewiki/2/29/1926PittsburgAutoAd.jpg
Mine is the 403 1/2 Iron Machinists Vise.
That was a $450 equivalent tool back in those days!
Unrelated note: I saw a 403 1/2 in use by one of the judges on Forged in Fire during their judges challenge. It was an interesting coincidence to see it the same day I posted this.
