Monday Mystery , Heavy duty clamp



Another small but heavy duty clamping-type object, the jaws are 1 1/4" diameter and open 1 1/2 inches. It would seem there is provision to fasten to something, though there is no evidence it ever was attached to anything else. Any ideas or guesses?

  1. Are the raised cross on the clamping surfaces meant to locate a pair of dies?

  3. I think it is the beam clamp, I have what looks like the companion with the clamping screw. If I can find it I'll send a pic

  4. I'll agree with you, it does look like a beam clamp-I can't see what it actually does except clamp two planks, bars, or??? longitudinally- No usage marks on this one- I don't think it has ever been used!
