    Hello, thank you for looking. I was looking through SOLD ITEMS eBay one day to try to identify some antique letterpress printing blocks that I had found, and I came across a tool that looked very similar to this. It was listed as a part for an antique Letterpress and sold for around $100.00. Well, I was digging through a box of my junk (good stuff, ha) the very next day, and I found this metal part, and I remembered that it had the same shape as the item that I had seen on eBay...I was very excited and went back to look for the item, but could not find it anywhere. This piece is marked SP on the side and it has a screw on the very top that looks original to the piece and is marked KARRO 120. The large bolt goes all of the way through this metal piece.

    I think it is to go on a 'table' to lock down materials/parts to machine and/or drill them.
