It's a Mag Chuck (magnetic Chuck) and As DaOld Man says they were used on milling beds or surface grinders, you can also get round ones for turning and Cylindrical grinding, I use them at work and you would be surprised at how much these things can hold.

Awesome.  Thank you Charlie and Old Man.  They don't seem to be on the mass market anymore but they can be found with a little research.  Seems Harbor Freight carried them at one time but not anymore.  This little bad boy will come in handy when I need to work on anything metal. (Joysticks, marquees retainers, etc.)  I was tired of leaving marks in the metal I was working on when I had to use the vice to hold anything.  A little cleaner and some steel wool and this will look like new.  Thank you again for the input.   :cheers:
