The first one is similar to mine but mine has no anvil.

There's a lot of that going on, seems anything "industrial" that'll look good in a banker's loft is worth a bloody fortune!

What I hate seeing is "vintage industrial table - conversation piece" made from a pair of lathe stands, when you can bet the lathe on top went into the scrapper's bin...

Oh, nice vice, BTW :)
