The green clamps are of traditional C-clamp form, each featuring a textured body with cast characters reading 10 INCH and L2 on the larger pair, and 4 INCH and L2 on the medium pair. The two red clamps bear the cast inscription 2 1/2. The black specialty clamp is designed with three adjustable threaded screws for edge applications. All items feature threaded metal adjustment rods terminating in flat swivel pads and tommy bar handles. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the items.
