Are vise grips not the answer to this problem? Get some cheap ones from the hammer store and file the teeth off if you need flat clamping faces.

I thought of these from photo lights.

I'm looking for a compact solution that isn't an over-center clamp, I was hoping to avoid something that would snap close and allow a more gentle clamp.  I was thinking about traditional c-clamps in a small size, but I'm also looking for something potentially with a vintage design.

Potential, if I could find them in a flat style clamp

Something like this? Not really a vintage design.

Those might work.  I saw them on Amazon, but I didn't find them small enough to work with what I'm doing.

The Kant Twist brand has several smaller options.

 

I instantly thought of test tube holders.

Test tube holders are close.  I'll wander through some lab equipment pages

Cleco side clamps?  You'll need a set of pliers for them.

I don't think those will work for this, but I can see a couple other uses for them for sure.  Thanks
