>t seems like there should be a pivot point in there somewhere, but I can't see
one.

There is a small spot on the straight-ish (left side) part, about half way along
the length.I strongly suspect that there is a steel (or brass) pin-- maybe a
nail-- through there a a pivot, with a metal tongue inside.


As to purpose, I agree that is is for attaching to a round rod and holding
something else. Not likely a lab clamp, unless for real specialty like
explosives. Too many common chemicals turn wood to waste quickly. Maybe a clamp
for stretching skins?
