what is it?

I have some Wetzler clamps that I got from my dad.

What are the little anvil like things on top?
Wetzler's web site doesn't mention them.

That's one guess. ;)

My guess is that the little anvil is built up so that when you stand
the clamp on its end, it stays vertical. It's a stabilizer foot.

Part of a hanger system for storing the clamps.
