$30.99
Vintage Heavy Duty Corner Clamp, No 711, Hahn Manufacturing. Measures 10 1/2" end to end. Good condition. Comes with box. Box is in used condition.
This heavy duty aluminum corner clamp is a fantastic survivor from the mid-century era of American manufacturing. Produced by the Hahn Manufacturing Co. of Franklin Park, Illinois, this tool represents the sturdy, dependable utility that defined the post-war DIY movement. The clamp was designed to hold mitered or butt joints at a perfect ninety degree angle, making it an essential for the home workshop enthusiast working on picture frames, screens, or storm windows. While the tool itself is a marvel of aluminum engineering, the packaging is equally compelling, featuring vibrant maroon and yellow graphics that capture the optimistic spirit of mid-century craftsmanship.
For the modern collector or woodworker, this piece serves as both a functional tool and a striking display item. The bold typography and technical illustrations on the box make it a prime candidate for a workshop shelf or a collection of vintage hardware. Imagine this placed alongside other mid-century hand tools or used as a conversation piece in an industrial-inspired office. It provides a tangible link to a time when tools were built to last and even the simplest hardware came in artfully designed packaging. Whether you are a dedicated carpenter or a fan of vintage industrial design, this corner clamp offers a blend of historical utility and visual appeal that is increasingly hard to find.
This item is vintage, approximately 70 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
