    Here’s a rare one: Hollands 37H, stationary swivel jaw with 7” jaws and weighing about 200 pound.

    Haven’t seen this one before. Union Parker “the gem” 304. Not sure about jaw width, though I would guess 4”

    RB - Show us a picture of the back of the Reed sign. I thought the original ones I've seen may have had wood on the back, but there could have been variation. I have one of the recent re-popped ones, so I could give you some dimensions on mine to at least exclude it from being the very recent...

    I feel the same way. Here's my collection of similar size:

    Thanks for the info on the craftsman, gentlemen. You never disappoint. I too thought Rock Island was the likely manufacturer. But so hard to find these things out definitively. In related news, it appears Zoomie has half a craftsman double swiveler for every Parker bear he owns. :)

    Thanks! That one on eBay is incredible. I’d like to know who made them as well. Perhaps Fierljeppen (keeper of all vise knowledge) knows something? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I always love seeing that Starrett VA. Here’s something I just picked up. Have been looking for one for awhile. Very interesting mechanisms. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Smitty- that NOS 925 is something to behold. A fantastic time capsule. Congrats on that score! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ed - that reedsman looks fantastic. Very nice work. Here are a couple 2.5” Reeds I picked up: a 202 1/2 and 102 1/2 on an old rivet machine stand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That doesn’t appear to be US made. The giveaway for me is the main screw/handle and swivel locks.

    Some very nice Emmerts being posted. Those are great pick ups, guys. Radar - that bullet looks great with the metal oil. Autopts always comes through. Fierljeppen - That $3k price on the Odin was surprising. Was thinking it might go to $1k. I guess a couple (or more) guys really wanted it.

    Hey there - Can I buy the nut from that vise? I'll message you. Smitty - That is super clean and a great find. Congrats!

    I spend a good amount of time looking at eBay and I’ve only seen one, but maybe they just sell quickly. Ncgun- that C2 is coming together nicely. I think a BLO or sculpt nouveau metal oil finish would look nice on that. I just touched up the green C3 I picked up last week. There’s still a lot...
