Got my vice fix for the month

This ones next, 6 1/2” jaws tilting swivel , heavyweight, it’s in real good shape but needs a new handle

Maybe some soft jaws , I’ll take the swivel base off till needed
 
Is that a Cardinal under the drill press? We’ve got one at work and I love it, but boy they are pricey. Congrats on the Reed!
Yes jw, it’s a cardinal 6B it is nice for the dp, sorry it took so long to get back to you as I was on a leave of absence for a while.
 
Newest addition,Columbian 3.5” jaws made in Cleveland Ohio. Took a little tweaking straightening,
going to try making knurled jaws for it on the mill with a modified bump knurler that fits a 7/8 collet

Of corse the mill won’t be running, I saw frank fords article knurl flat bar
This vise might just get polished bare metal , it’ll be a desk vise.

More to come
 
Very nice Reed 1C! Despite what the seller said, it's a lot newer than 1910, dates to somewhere between 1940 and about 1960, can tell by the flattened "meatball" and the slick split nut behind it that retains and adjusts the screw end play.
