Picked up this nice little vise this weekend. Has a swivel table clamp, patent date on clamp is 7-9-29. Vice has a name on it but it's worn, i can't make it out. Does anyone recognize it?

It appears to be a Brink & Cotten patent, actually a Brink patent, but that sure doesn't look like there mark.  I don't recognize it.

I'm thinking the patent may be for the swivel clamp only

No, absolutly made by Brink & Cotton, there is one on ebay now with the Brink&Cotton diamond logo on it.

Strange logo on this one, some hardware store perhaps? Menards?

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
