Solved! Acorn Tip Wall Hook

[steelheadwill]

Wondering about this item, brass, about 3-1/4"
it has a hole with no threads, terminates about 1/2" inside.
thought gas light fitting when found, but no apparent hole in 'acorn' end.
too small & frail for coathook. (I think)
thanks for looking!

Part of a wall hook? Similar to this but with an ornamental cover plate that attaches to a wall?

Only other thing I can think of is one part of a rack...maybe for keys, etc.

Maybe a door stop that got bent?

Re: Coat Hook?

My first thought is that it is a curtain stay, where you can pull the curtains back and they stay drawn...if that makes any sense.

Re: Coat Hook?

Thanks All!
I'm sure the piece is designed with the 90' Bend,
the curtain stay & key hook are sounding good.
I have to find a site selling Victorian era hardware, I'm sure there is something similar
size & design out there HH!

Can you post a "similar design" curtain tieback because I dont see one? The picture you posted is coat hooks. These have been posted here before and I believe the consensus was coat hook or wall hook but Id have to search.

Check these links of acorn ending coathooks by Cru. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,317378.msg2288135.html#msg2288135


Coat or Hat Hook http://www.legacy-store.com/Furniture_restoration_parts/Furniture_parts_Coat_Hooks.htm
not curtain tieback IMO.
