Dan -  The steel inserts for the jaws are missing.  But if they were there 
the top of the jaws would meet just like you'd expect.

Plumbers vise is what I'm thinking, too.  The hollow cast iron anvil part 
wouldn't stand up to hot forging, but would seem to be substantial enough 
for some riveting or flattening copper tubing and the like.
