Anyone know these hooks?

I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

No takers? 
There are some serious limerick bends in these along with some very nice bends with slightly turned up points.

Not I but, I'm curious to as what these hooks look like 

Re: Anyone know these hooks?
Ask and you shall receive.
They appear handmade and my guess is they older, maybe not available anymore.

Oh man, am I ever drooling over the hook just below the dime! That is one pretty hook, at least to my eyes. Very cool.

Re: Anyone know these hooks?
I like that hook too Ray!


Re: Anyone know these hooks?
They are neat. The 3 below the dime are the same hook, different sizes I believe. A 10,12 and a 14. There is a little bit of variation between hooks but foundationally the same. This is what leads me to believe that they are handmade.

Re: Anyone know these hooks?
I agree. The hooks below the dime are the same, just different sizes. I like the top of those 3 because I can see it better....lol.
