Folk art & crafts: what is it?

Did you notice that clamp w. two adjusters shown in the illustration to "jazzolin"-plan? It's also in the emblem of the Titebond -bottle. what is it used for, does it do anything better than a standard one?

(I picked one up assuming it was a metal working tool, but could make use of one half for a special lutherie task.)
