The clamp will probably damage the decals. I've seen a lot of older machines with a piece of fabric around the neck there, used as a pin cushion. That might be the explanation. It's was and still is a bad idea for those of us who want to keep the paint and decals in good shape. Pins scratch, and so does the clamp, especialy with no fabric between.
