old tools, brass sash clamps

[jim1950]

In 1977 I was ask to help clear a derelict farm building in Knatts valley Kent so it could be surveyed, it had been a workshop on a remote part of the farm but a long time ago the roof had fallen in and it was totally overgrown
inside was odds and ends of tools all rusted or rotted away but I found the ends of a cast brass/ bronze sash clamp so after a good clean up and freeing the thread I made up a new Oak bar, still use it today.
But I've never been able to find a maker of any information about them, anyone know.

Never seen brass ones but you can still get those. Very handy if you need extra long clamps

Maybe made by some local patternmaker for his own use?

You sometimes see unexpected tools cast from brass or bronze by someone with access to a brass or bronze foundry.
