I found one reference to a C E Caster Company in a 1901 publication but no information on the company. The were a lot of hardware companies around the turn of the century. I have several old bar clamps wood and steel. They work to varying degrees some better than others. A lot of companies went out of business in the early 1900's. Back in the 60's I dealt with an old time hardware dealer who had about anything you could want. He said one day that he only saw 1 or 2 hardware dealers a month where at one time 2 or 3 or more a week was common.
The only thing I know about clamps is that I never seem to have enough for the task at hand. Only guy I ever met that had enough clamps, also had a pet Unicorn.
