Vise identification help - can’t find anything about it

[jransom]

Does anyone recognize this logo cast on the side of this large vise I just picked up? It says Chicago Heavy Duty and has a lightning bolt in the middle of it but I can’t find anything out about it. It probably weighs between 50-70 lbs. Thanks in advance for any help! -John
