Manufacturer: E. C. STERNS & CO. SYRACUSE N.Y.
This is a good used 13.75" long, 8" capacity, adjustable C-Clamp marked "8" MADE IN U.S.A." in cast lettering on the frame. This is the antique style with the fancy wing screw on it. The threaded shaft is in very good shape, not bent, no rust. The frame is straight, not bent, good pad alignment with the jaw when closed, (as in the picture) or even otherwise for that matter. We have not seen another one of these before, believed to be made by E.C. Stearns was a well known quality tool maker from 1877-1944. A nice clean machinist clamp overall!
