Clam on unknown. What is it????

[NJ Marty]

The only thing I can come up with on this is a tube repair clamp but the screw through the center, definitely not. Any ideas on what its used for.
Thanks

Maybe the screw goes thru a grommet hole, and the clamp holds a tarp to the edge of some surface?

I seem to remember seeing a bunch of clamps like those hanging on a wall in a neighbors farm shed. Thinking back, the old guy did make his own baskets for tomatoes back in the day, maybe they had something to do with building the baskets? A clamp to hole the bottom disc as they stapled the sides together?

Other than that, maybe some sort of assembly tool, something to hold a spring compressed or something?

What ever the disc part holds, it likely doesn't have to hold it very tight since its only got a wing nut to tighten it up, this makes me think its more a of an assembly fixture than a clamp. It looks like its mean to hold something of the side of a bench while its being assembled or worked on.

Perhaps to hold a circular saw blade while being sharpened?

I definitely agree. It looks like a circular saw blade vise.

I knew it would get identified quickly. A good eye and guess that looks to be correct. Thanks
