I am curious who made this clamp? I don't think its a Newhouse, maybe Herters? Can anyone confirm a maker? Thanks!

Someone on my facebook page posted a pic of a similar clamp. Looks like it is a Herters!

Herters or Duke, someone did a nice job of "aging" it

I wasn't aware that Duke ever made a clamp. Have never seen one advertised. Can you provide some more information on this?

Is that bend in the shaft original?

I can't seem to find any examples of any with a bent shaft. Have you seen others like that?

Yes! as I stated above, a gentleman on American Trap Collectors Facebook page posted a pic of the exact same clamp. He said he got it with a 41AX...

Wow! They must be valuable if there are only two in existence made like that. Custom order?
