rodent.22 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I collect old locks, etc and my wife picked this item up in Danville, Va. It would fit in a cigarette pack, aluminum with brass screws and top knob. Marked WABCO WONDER with the number 8 stamped on the brass knob on top. Squeeze the ears together and the teeth open up enough on both sides to permit a blade to be installed on either or both sides.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Well I figured out WABCO "Westinghouse Air Brake Company" and "Westinghouse Automatic Brake Company" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imschur Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I found WABCO had a lot of patents for clamping devices. Problem was I could only see tiny thumbnail images as the site wasnt working correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microgunner Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Why that's a "hangover to catch meddlers" as my father used to call any unidentifiable object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
