The Item ▼

This matched pair of heavy-duty vintage C-clamps represents the golden age of American industrial toolmaking, manufactured by the legendary Adjustable Clamp Company of Chicago, Illinois. Recognized by woodworkers and machinists for their uncompromising durability, this pair features one No. 1450 clamp with a 5-inch jaw capacity and one No. 1460 clamp with a 6-inch jaw capacity. Constructed from rugged cast ductile iron frames, these clamps possess a deeply weathered, natural rust brown patina that speaks to decades of honest labor in a mid-century workshop. Each clamp is proudly embossed with the classic 'ADJUSTABLE' maker's mark and 'MADE IN U.S.A.' designation, highlighting their historic provenance. The mechanical integrity of these clamps remains fully operational, sporting heavy cold-drawn steel screws with deep, rolled Acme threads that continue to turn smoothly. Unlike modern light-duty alternatives, these vintage implements feature robust frames designed to resist side strain and deliver up to 1,200 pounds of reliable clamping force. The sliding-pin T-handles provide ample torque for secure fastening, while the machine-ground anvils and swiveling pads allow for precise pressure distribution. Whether added to a collection of historic Americana or put back to work in a modern carpentry studio, these authentic tools blend rugged utility with a powerful industrial aesthetic. This vintage set of two tools has a combined weight of approximately 6 pounds. The larger No. 1460 clamp measures approximately 10.5 inches in height, 5.5 inches in width, and has a thickness of 1.25 inches, while the smaller No. 1450 clamp measures approximately 9 inches in height, 4.75 inches in width, and 1 inch in thickness.
