Quilting Clamp


 Yet another decorative 2 inch cast clamp. A tag suggested it was an old clamp used in quilting. Not sure, is the slot for a belt somehow?

The slot is actually the open sides of a bore through the clamp body, as seen on these 3:

Maybe they're intended to be fixed down to a table or something.

Or possibly dropped down over a peg, I need to find an old quilter. :-) I guess it must be a Stearns clamp.
