I believe it reads CH or HC, below the 101032 part number. Harrison Castings?
thanks for any help.

Hey, I like that word! Pronounced, "OLD-udge." Like "windage" in shooting or golfing.
If you can't find an answer here for your Wilton, go here and post your question. I'm sure you will get the answer there on any type of vise.

I have several older Wiltons and none of mine have that marking
That Garage Journal thread is very good.
i've asked over there, i don't think theres as many serious researchers over there as here. i don'tt think its chicago hardware foundry. "CHF" seems to be their mark. I'm still leaning it being a older harrison castings mark. Thanks.
If I'm not mistaken that mark is Cleveland Hardware.
bill
its not Cleveland hardware. thanks.
That's real close to the Chicago Mfg. and Distributing logo.
You might try and contact the Wilton company. I'm betting there's someone there that could get you the answer to what the letters stand for
