Old twisted wire clamp with wire finger hole. What is its use?
Looks very
old with a nice dark patina and not rusted. Measures 6" long. Reminds me of some old corkscrews but with a very different end than a corkscrew.

OP2 years agoThe art of wire twisting is a lost art. Some were done by hand and others used special twisting gadgets. I've seen many rare corkscrews using twisted wires.
