Anyone Recognize This Logo?

Recommended Posts

I came across an old vise with this maker's mark on it. I've seen it before but I can't remember where...  Anyone recognize it? Thanks in advance...

Thanks niveker! Does your universal have any other makers mark showing it's a universal- made vise? Or is that the maker's mark?

I believe the wing bolt on the top has the same design on it, I will take a closer look at the vise when I get back home this afternoon.

Hmm...

Here's the vise. Can't find it googling best I can... Pull collet with a "T" shaped handle. Plastic knob at the bottom, which I suppose dates it '50s or later, otherwise all metal, steel with cast iron base & handle, simple construction nothing fancy, but has a nice feel to it, built to last. Soldered joint, steel rod bottom is sawn off and filed at the edge.

My Universal #1 vise has "Universal" on the stem of the vise.

Interesting, no "Universal" marking anywhere on mine.

Both wing bolts have the design on their flats, the only other marking is "Pat. App'd" on the vise wheel flat. 

I tend to agree with what has been said above, that its an off the shelf wing bolt.

I'm fairly certain that's the logo repetitively displayed on this space craft.  I got this picture on one of my journeys through the Antares Nebula.
