Small joiner's clamp with cherry jaws and bar and a maple screw. Movable jaw was fixed at desired position with a pin (missing) inserted into a 1/4" diameter hole through the jaw that was aligned with one of a series of holes through the bar and the object being clamped was then forced against the movable jaw by means of the thumbscrew. The fixed jaw is through-mortised and tenoned and the joint is pinned.
