Antique hooks



My antiques that I will talk about are hooks. These hooks were first given to my grand-father when he was about 5 years old and then to my dad. Today my dad has them downstairs in are basement and does not use them, but when my dad was 5 years old he used to have five, 1 for each member of his family. These hooks are about 70 years old. I calculated the year it was made and it was made in around 1940. One hook weighs 6.30 grams. It's length is 9 cm and it's width is 6 cm. They are all rusty and kind of brown. They are made of iron and there is one that is broken in the back and I can see the inside of it, it's quite cool. It's orange and has holes, can see two holes. I think it's broken because of the screws that went in and out. So these are my two antiques!
