greenie Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Nice clamps with fluted handles. My first thought was convertible top clamps from the mid 30’s. Upon further review, the loop that may accommodate a lock has me thinking , well, nautical. Any ideas? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flivverking Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 They do appear large for an automobile top. Then add the missing catch pieces.. They remind me of a 30s commerical Ice box latch with a pad lock loop..I can see these on 1935 ice cream truck.😀 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenie Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Wow. I hadn’t thought of that possibility. I could see these on an early Good Humor truck. The loop for a lock makes sense. I can still remember that sound as the driver slammed the freezer door close and handed me a frozen treat! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 We had very similar hardware on the commercial walk in coolers / freezers on the ship I worked on. They always have loops for locks to prevent after hours pilferage. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
