This is an old cast iron tool that could be put to use in anyone's shop immediately. This is a 500A bar clamp, 2 feet long. CT Co. is Cincinnati Tool, the circled H mark signifies that it was designed by John Hargrave, son of the company founder. Previous post here.

that is a beautiful work of tool art.
They sure knew how to cast steel a century ago.
I had a couple of 4' Hargraves like that years ago.
Was the purpose of the gaps to save weight or just for aesthetic purposes?
Good question.
May be for nailing to a surface securing work or storage
