Since getting my Reed No 23, I've been hunting for information about them, so here's a little bit of information about the ones I have found. The majority of the information here was originally sourced from Garage Journal & Practical Machinist.

If I have your picture here, please e-mail me. If you'd like it removed, let me know - but I'd really like to gather more information from you, give you credit, and link to any further information you have (or any restoration/threads on any forums about your vise). Unfortunately, I started saving ID pictures on the internet long before I ever thought of putting together this page, so some credits have gotten lost.
