Hi Heidi,

Welcome to The Patriot Woodworker.

I believe the bench you have is listed as a No. 1251 in the 1917, and 1923 Oliver catalogs.

The vices are also listed.

 

The 1917 catalog can be found here.

The 1923 here.

It looks like yours might be missing a front brace

 

I knew that was coming, what do you do memorize those old catalogs???:D
