I grabbed this little guy at the Carlisle, PA swap meet a few weeks ago and didn't notice a manufacture until I had it all stripped down. Its a Braunsdorf-Mueller made in NJ. Not much info about their vises online, or about them in general. I thought it was a Bonney or Stanley at first.

I picked up this Reed 403 1/2R the other day off of Facebook marketplace. Its dated 2/73 with removable jaws. Its the first Reed vise I've seen that's missing the manufacture, model, and patent number on the static jaw castings. Was this common for a '70's Reed?

Picked up this Wilder All-Shapes vise at the flea market last weekend. Had no idea what it was at the time, but I've never seen a double swivel dynamic jaw before this one.

Prentiss (By Parker) Chase 356 Vise I restored. Didn't come with the swivel base so i fabricated a static base for it using a 10" sch 40 pipe from work. I'm pretty happy with how it came out. But now its stuck on my bench since its 200+ pounds and I cant move it myself.
