ID this vise with partial logo [solved - Luther Grinder Mfg Co]

I have the same vise as this one, but the logo is gone and I don't know the manufacturer. This one is on e-bay and has part of the logo left. Who made it?

Solved - see post 11

Can't answer the question, but it appears to be a nice quality item

When you find out, post it. I have one and the logo is fubar'd on it, too.

 

[bgott]

Here it is.

Did Lisle make vises?

My money is on Littlestown.

 

[Hammer1963]

Did Lisle make vises?

That was my first thought. I've seen Littleton/Littletown, but it doesn't appear to be enough room for the name

 

[bl00]

The Lisle logo looks pretty close. Could be an older version of the logo. I can't find any old Lisle logos online to compare it too, though.

That appears to be the current version. The script is different on the vise, though.

I wonder if replacement labels are available in case we want to restore 'em?

I'll bet my artists could recreate 'em. Shouldn't be difficult, really, but they would have to be made of adhesive vinyl, not water-transfer decals. Trouble would be the time involved, and only a VERY few people would want one.

I got excited and thought it was my thread I created earlier today until I looked at date. I feel like a idiot now. I just picked one of these up today.

It's a nice little vise. If I ever get around to remaking the sticker I'll send you one.

Wow, that would be great thank you. I just threw mine in the tank and would you happen to know org color? Inside looks to be a dark green? Would that be correct org color?

All the ones I've seen have been blackish. I couldn't tell if mine ever had paint on it or not. Here's two more ads:
