Thread: Watcha Dooen at Dooen - 27, 28 & 29 GTG 2017

I will being an 8GB USB stick and will also contribute to the food pool

I will be bringing an 'antique' cast iron F clamp for sale - Best 0ffer above 1 bottle of single malt scotch acceptable

Bob

A couple of images of the F clamp - Haven't attempted to clean it as I didn't want to risk damage and reducing its value
I beleive te correct description should be "Elhabe Cam Type Clamp"

It looks as though this clamp may be a very rare piece. A search of the internet reveals no records of the Elhabe No 4. A business in Brazil is offering a couple of No.5 Elhabe clamps for sale. The additional information I have received is:

Sergeant Clamp 4 Drgm Elhabe German Rarity !!! Sergeant clamp 4 DRGM Elhabe Ancient German Cast Iron Bar measuring 35 cm 20 cm claw With torque / pressure lever DRGM stands for "Deutsche Reiches Gebrauchs Musterschutz" - meaning protected patented design under the Reich Government Value: $150 – $200 AUD (Based on Brazilian price.)

Based on a reference from an English Museum it is possibly over 70 years old

Sorry, but the price just went up

We are making final arrangements.
I've been told of twice for trying to put my hand in the slice and cupcake containers.
For what reason I'm unsure off!
I was trying to do quality control.
I may have take this matter up with a higher management team.


See ya all soon

Cheers Matt
