Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.

That is the heaviest *vine* that I've seen! (just kidding)

It could be by one of a dozen companies. Dominion Works used to make vises until WW2, and that looks about right. But that is just a guess.

***nice vise***
 
I was going to say that it has a kinda Rohm vibe to it but that's obviously not a Canadian brand.
 
That looks like a resellers tag, rather than a makers one.

J.M. Opinion, but have seen far too many machine tools listed for sale as being "made" (< air quotes there!) by, for instance Barer Machine Tools.

Not very many tool distributors were that shy about slamming their own labels on to th estuff they sold, no matter the source!
