Antique workbench

I on occasion visit antique stores and such looking for hand tools. Since building my workbench I have an interest in old workbenches and how they were built. I found this bench on a recent outing.

looked like it was solid oak and had a slant leg vise.

Had a nice tail vise as well with those little metal caps that spin up and grab the work which you can see in the picture.
