Joe -

As I recall, they were called "cable clasps". We used them extensively in the '60s and early '70s. We pretty much stopped using them when tyrap buttons came out.

Like Jim, we bent them with our fingers and finished them off with the butt end of the screw driver or with the small end of that brilliant phone company hammer we used to call a "dum-dum".

I don't think I've used a cable clasp in almost 40 years or seen one in 35 years.
