I picked up a Chicago Wilton C1 this morning. It has a stamping or logo on it I've not seen before. The vise is the same model as the vise in this eBay auction (below pics are from that eBay listing):

The logo I'm referring to is on one side of the dynamic jaw:

Anyone know what it is?
Safety glasses?
Elvis glasses?
Demonic symbol?
Gordian knot?
Pretzel?

:dunno:

Also - it has one broken foot, so I'm looking for a replacement $wivel base.

:pimpflash

I'd say a foundry mark, but I haven't seen that one.

I don't know what it means, but my 1951 C-1 has it:
