Reed Mfg. Cast Logos… What are they?

[SellersMachineCo]

I found two of these Reed Mfg. cast logos at an antique store. They definitely don’t appear to be any kind of reproduction, but I can’t find any info on them. I’m thinking they were some form of topper on a retail display, maybe the chains were to run through tools to secure them? Any ideas?

They're cool as hell is what they are.

The catalogs at ITCL says post 1952, so maybe poke there? No clue, yes cool.

I haven’t found anything in the catalogs yet. I emailed Reed and got no response, which is what I figured would happen.
