Hello!

I recently came across these clips in my artifact storage and I have no
idea what they are. I've attached a few photos of them.

They measure about 3.5" long and about 1" at their widest point. The bar in
the middle is adjustable with little notches but there are no other
distinguishing marks from a brand or company. They're also quite stiff to
open and close. I've found two and both have an eye lag at the top so I'm
thinking they were screwed into a wall or ceiling. Perhaps they are a form
of clip to hold something?

If anyone has an idea about what these are and what they were used for,
that would be greatly appreciated!
I can be contacted at chasemuseumsociety at gmail.com or 250-679-8847.
