Just picked up a nice Reed vise

[Jonny Rotten]

Just picked this up 15 minutes from my house for $30. I feel like it stole it but that's what he was asking.
Patent from 1914
#104- 4 In jaws
Jaws have the grooves in them so that's good.
Opens and closes real smooth. Really doesn't need any cleaning up.
Adding the collection. I have 2 Rock Island vise's and now this

May you enjoy both Good Health and the vise for many years.

Have one just like that with the swivel base ... it was on my dad's bench and as a kid I whacked so many things on that old vice --- including the back of it where I later learned it was not an anvil!

Was going to "restore it" -- but -- could not bring myself to clean off all the different colors. Each reminded me of some project my dad and I did.

The “SUCKAGE” is strong with you.

That poor old thing doesn't even have a swivel base, why would you bother?



Congrats on a really nice score!
