What is it? CXXIV

Closest I can get in 5 minuts of googling:

Han't been following, but 720 is a kingpin lock, 721 is a valve grinding stick, and 722 is an aircraft fuel sampling cup.

Well done, thanks!

That one looks more practical for joining something like two chain ends than mine does.

Hey Jeff,

I've never seen one like it, but it may possibly have been a lock-out for some cable controlled apparatus, such as a built-in-the-early-1900's-elevator. These old freight (mostly) elevators used a hand-cable to shift the over-head line-shaft crossed belt system to achieve direction and brake application. If that were locked around the cable, it may have prevented operation, Hand cables were nominally 3/8" wire rope, with about 2" clamp balls to adjust and limit throw.

Take care.

This clamp is much too tight to be used on any part of the body, it would cause serious damage. You're probably thinking of a clover clamp, they have a spring and aren't as strong.

Forgot to mention thanks to everyone who clued me in about number 725, I thought it was some type of clamp but didn't know it was missing the rubber pieces.

I see now that it would be too tight. It is very similar in design/shape to a nasal clamp. I'm claiming half-credit for the missing sponge bit. What's a clover clamp?

Now you're scaring me.

Valve stem lock. Stops you screwing it down.
