Dave - Here is the Holand's Ad you wanted.

Man that 9 1/2 is the Holmes! I'll find one somewhere!! Kevin let me know if you need any of the pics.

Thanks for the brochure share I have not seen that before. I did not realize they made so many sizes. I will have to get all mine out and see what is there. I know I have a real small one and one with at least 6 inch jaws ans some in between. I rarely find one. Good to hear from you!

I picked up this Stephens coach makers vise a few weeks ago. I have never seen another coachmakers version like it. Love the look of the slide set.

I haven't been on here in a long time but I caught this. What a monster!! What i can't believe is that it only got 5 or 6 responses. This is the best vise to appear on here in years and nobody is talking about it. :headscrat I honestly quit looking on here much because I don't want to see...

Yes this is a Railroad vise. Chicago, Saint Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha RR. I got one about 3 years ago and it came from a RR shop in St. Paul. I saw another at the LeSueur MN swap meet a couple years ago but it was too high.For some reason it says 7" jaws on the side but has 8 inch jaws and...

Bcom - Congrats on the 4C it is one of my favorites. At one time I had 14 of them but sold some of the newer ones. There were a lot of them sold in the refinery and oil business as well as natural gas plants. Every plant I have ever been to has had reed "C" series vises.

Hollands 56 is a hard one to catch. Ive never found one.

b100 - I can't believe I did not know this. :bowdown: Of course this means more time looking for the 10".

Here is catalog I got last week . I did not realize Erie Tool Works bought Hollands. I also see the the Keystone Hollands vise were their cheaper line. I would guess this catalog is from the 60's ???

They don't grow em that big in Texas. It would look out of place there:lol:

The 4 hole 109 is 297# which is what the literature says but I did weigh it. Somewhere on here I posted the entire Reed catalog but that was years ago. I will see if I can find it.

The Reed 109 will go inside. I am making a vise stand out of some big iron. I will post it here when I get it started. It sould weigh about 1000# when I'm done. Actually my wife has never really questioned the vice for vises much. She is very very understanding. What you don't realize is that I...

Here is the other Reed 109 I got this summer . Notice it has the 4 bolt pattern to hold it down. I am guessing it to be earlier than the one Kevin just finished but not sure. My earliest Reed catalog says it is catalog #37 and it had all the telegraph codes listed in the rear so I know it is old...
