Hot Rods Please help me identify this tool.

I found two of these tools in a junk box. I am not sure what it was
Designed for. But it has a small battery terminal end attached. It looks too complex
To be a battery removal tool. It also has a circular gripper inside the jaws of
The tool. Any ideas?

 

No idea but the battery terminal looking portion looks more like a mounting point for what ever this holding device is.

 

20's touring car top saddle rest.

 

What he said!

 

Yup, Joe is correct. Fold the top down and cinch the lever and it stops the folded top from bouncing around.

 

Thank you guys. I guess that explains why I found a pair if them.

 

Looks exactly like the ones on my 1918 Nash touring car.

 

Would this be a part from the auto manufacturer or an aftermarket item?

 

Oh, convertible top holder, not giddy up saddle holder…

 

Think they're probably Bair...but maybe other manufacturers??
