Just picked this up at the local flea market for .25 cents on my way home from work. I have no idea what its intended use is for, but I'm sure I can put it to work for something I'm tinkering with that needs securing.

Looks like clamps for chemistry lab equipment. 1/4" - 3/8" rod

Yup. Chemistry lab stand clamp.

We had drawers full of stuff like that at several companies I've worked for over my career. When one business moved out of the R&D center where it had been for 50+ years into a new building a few years ago there were probably barrels of those put in the dumpsters. They just don't get used as much anymore the way chemistry is done now.

Thanks guys!!

It's been some twenty years since I've even thought of Chemistry class. I HATED IT!! I graduated from college with a Criminal Justice degree. Science was never my strong point.

This one looks about that vintage (50+/- years ago). With all the welding/ auto restoration I do I'm sure it will earn its .25 cent entry fee into my toolbox.
