A friend of mine just picked up an absolutely beautiful Reed Vise that will clean up very well. I say it is a 4CA because jaw width is 6", but I can't explain the casting marks or number stamp. The casting suggests 208 or 206, which does not come with pipe jaws? and the stamped portion is possibly 20813? Pictures Attached. Can anyone clear up the markings for us?

That's a Columbian combination vise m# 206M3. It was around 1990, when Reed stopped making their own vises and started offering rebadged Columbian vises instead. This lasted sometime into the 2000's.
