Description:

This is an unusual (and not particularly useful) claboard holder.

Unlike most clapboard gages, this one does not use a fence to space the rows-- it relies on the holes made by the barbed teeth. In use, the two rows of teeth are adjusted such that when the bottom row is placed into the holes made by the top, the spacing is correctly set.
