Found this in a really old barn along with a lot of other old machinist tools. Trying to identify age and what it is exactly. Thank you

1st glance & I thought gun sight. Then I looked at the tape. I'm waiting like you for an ID.

This is a vice that one would find mounted on a large band saw or mechanical hacksaw. It has a quick release device for installing large size stock without having to screw the threaded handle in/out an excessive amount.

Although this one looks old modern cutting machines still have them.
