They are Z clips. One of the methods for fixing canvases stretched over bars into frames.

There are plenty of other options for doing the same job. Offsets are our preferred method these days.

Ah, makes sense. Thanks - I use canvas offsets so I'll put these in the bin

They are evil. They were the go-to thing when I started off.
Offsets or springs are much better.

I wouldn’t toss them, I’d put them in my “you never know” drawer!

I have a box as well. Useful when you don't have the right offset size in stock.

...take a wooden baseball bat and a toffee hammer...
Carefully insert the z clips all around the business end of the bat and hey presto - the perfect weapon for the zombie apocalypse
