Adjustable Cast Iron Bail

The only example I could find of an adjustable cast iron bail was in Tyler's Early American Cast Iron Holloware book. Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) I couldn't find any examples through Google searches, which leads me to believe that these are either very rare or not sought after. It is a very neat piece and I was super excited to find it as I have an early dutch oven without an attached bail. Does anyone have any information on these?
 
This one looked to have a spread of 12-15 inches, maybe larger. It predates the wire bails most dutch ovens have now. Really cool once I was able to use it to pick up my old DO!
