Clamp for a tire tube hot patch. Rough up the tube put on a little sticky then the hot patch is clamped on and ignited, the best patch available at the time.

Lol I had some patches for them until I moved I tested one of the and it didn't ignite!!
No sticky needed , it melted the patch and tube together.

Yep...clamps for applying hot patch to rubber inner tubes. I remember helping my Dad when I was a kid work on old tires.

I think it was called vulcanizing...
Here's a video for those who can't remember and those who are too young to know.
I don't know what he's done here but when my Dad did it the surface of the patch was left smooth and shiny..I remember the patches he used were also oval shaped.
