Brass Table Keepers
Sturdy Brass Table Leaf Forks hold two table-top-sections firmly together and provide a leveling action for the two adjoining sections. These unique assemblies are also referred to as: table yokes, table keepers and table clamps. Call them what you want, they are any easy to use option for joining table-tops. Each assembly is made from strong brass extrusions. Sleeves are spring loaded for a tight, secure fit. Care should be used when measuring as not all previously made table clamps were the exact same size.
