What is this?!

What have I inquired? Some type of brake? Clamp? Any info or history would be cool!

If you ever need to sharpen a hand saw that will come in very handy. A fine old Disston from the late 1940's is a joy to use when sharp.

agreed, I have seen a few of them. Nice find.

Have one in the drawer of my workbench along with the saw set and tooth grinder. They belonged to my dad. He taught me how to sharpen a handsaw when I was 13. The real tool is the triangular file to file the teeth. Takes time to do it right.

That would make for a good story...

I thought it was called a sheetmetal vise that often gets used for sharpening saws
