"Hello everyone. I sold a Reynolds engraved seat post about three years ago on ebay. I am assuming it was made by the same Reynolds company that made and sold the tubing that we have all come to know.

Does anyone know what year these posts were produced?"

I would also like to know when Reynolds began producing aluminum (and Hiduminium) tubes for bicycle seat posts (like Ted's) and handlebars. The 1920s catalog I scanned for Mark Bulgier's site (thank you for hosting it, Mark!) list seatposts ("SEAT PILLAR STEMS & BUILT UP SEAT PILLARS/To standard patterns or special requirements) and handlebars among their offerings in steel.
