Wow i have not seen one in years .That is a board stretcher Larry.:hidin:

Thanks for the link Karl...those are the exact same ones! They will look great on the wall of my shop!:uhuh:

I'm kind of astounded you didn't know what that was???

-spence

I knew it was a clamp used in furniture building but knowing the background was quite helpful! Man...they are old!

Rub a little Briwax on it BF and it'll look even betta. :)

I heard bigfish liked waxing stuff

:devil2:

They are mine and I can wax them as fast or as slow as I want!!:uhuh:

We had some of those back in middle school, we'd use them to glue stock together....I don't think the teacher really knew how to use them because as kids, we would never really get them evenly closed....:smash:

It's always nice finding old stuff. :uhuh:

Looks like something Moe would tighten on Curley's head. :smash:

I got a bunch, but they are made of metal and smaller, for my trade. Clean it up and hang. There is a good market for antique tools so worth keeping in nice condition.
