Anyone recognize the emblem on this Vice?

Saw this on a small Vice had no name but did have an emblem on the side. Another distinguishing characteristic of this vice, even though it doesn’t show up well in the pics is that it has a triangular bar/slide where most are square or rectangular, round or square. Thank!

It's a crest of some kind

Ahhh, now as I search this on the net I see various forms of shields they used. Thanks!

(Not that you need further verification but)

Definitely Bonney I have a set of wrenches with that crest. The "B" wears weirdly on some stuff, and for a while I thought the first ones I had were a "D" in a crest.

My favorite quote:
“Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
are awake through years with transferred touch, and go on glowing
for long years.
And for this reason, some old things are lovely
warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.”
