Need Help I.D'ing this aluminum hook

Anybody have an idea on this. It's aluminum and 4 1/2 inches long. No markings. My first thought was a hoof pick, but now I don't believe so.

Could it possibly be for picking up bales of hay, holding the long curve in the hand and catching the 2 bale ropes with the hook part? HH

Where did you find it?

Possibly. My fingers fit into it but its a little tight around the middle finger. Also, as thin as it is, it wouldn't take very much weight before this would be very uncomfortable. If I wore gloves, my finger would not fit.

One of our customers bought it at an estate sale included in a bunch of other junk. He keeps what he wants and always brings the rest to sell as scrap at our recycling business. I always enjoy digging thru his stuff.

Not a hay hook,and not a hoof pick. My swag is two of them were used to pull on tight cowboy boots. I used to do that with wood handled hooks.

BosnMate is right. Boot pull.

Yepper, Bosnmate is correct. Boot Hooks for putting on and Boot Jacks for taking off. Since it is small, it could be for ladies boots.

Thanks for the ID. I'd never thought of that.
