In our possession is a really cool F.E. Reed metal lathe we are needing to
get rid of. Hate to part with it but need the space because our business
is growing. The link below is to our craigslist ad with pics. Would love
some info on this piece.

Well, if it's FE Reed and Co, I think that makes it a bit later (1880's
era) than my little guy, which is FE Reed, Makers (I also have a larger
1880's "& Co." lathe) I don't have much in the hard and fast info, but I
think being badged "Makers" put it 1860s and earlier. Not exactly
congruent with this...but it does not mention "Makers"
