My thoughts also. Looks like there might have been another accessory which would have fit in the T-slots under the jaws ?

Can't be sure of that, tools made long ago were built to last a lifetime, not like the far east garbage made today. This Vice looks like its stood the test of time.

To remove the screws if they are seized or rusted in use a flat ended punch slightly smaller than the screw head hold it straight with the screw (put the punch on the face of the screw) and give it a couple of sound cracks a very good tip i was given to remove the screws that hold brake discs on works every time. try it and let me know how you get on

Only going on what they say across the other side of the pond.
They class them more as a novelty item rather than a robust, utilitarian item.

Got to say, it looks like a workhorse to me; nothing mickey mouse about it. I can't imagine it being a novelty, but special purpose for sure.

Got it on my watch list, but not too excited about this particular one at the moment.

I'd just clean that up and leave it. Condition of the existing paint, and the vice in general, seems quite decent.
