What the heck is this ?

[Sudsy]

Nearest I can figure it's some kind of pipe clamp, but I certainly could be wrong
The only making on it is a letter B underneath where the handle is screwed on

Test tube / laboratory clamp?

 

[beatcad]

my 1st thought was an old spring compressor, but its kinda small.

the threads are course and old(or cheap).

maybe a **** tool?

Which would explain the dried black stuff, possible boil over goo, that I had to chip off the fingers.

Now to figure out what to use it for

It makes a great clamp on handle for working with a pipe wrench.
Now I don't need three hands for a complicated glue up.

Looks big for test tubes.

Retort clamp is the proper name, I believe.
