Title: what type of handle did this use?
Post by: oldgoaly on October 14, 2015, 05:51:21 PM: A flat tab? Others I have seen use wooden ones, but these were used by blacksmith's and foundrymen too,
could they have had a removable so the wood would not burn? maybe a T-handle style?

The missing crank handle most likely was like those on "Pony" clamps. ( http://www.ebay.com/bhp/pony-clamp ) has photos of several styles of "Pony" clamps.
