Old brass Monkeys?

[war-digs-it]

Picked up this pair of brass monkeys at a sale today, I was kinda hoping they were some kind of antique buckles or something else interesting. Maybe they are for hanging plants? If you know or just have any ideas I'd love to hear it.

These are widely recognized as plant hooks.

But the old guys here (most of us) know they are "one-time-use" thermometers. To check to see how cold it is. Yours, apparently, have already been used.
