Wrought iron (?) hooks

Both found in an area where I have found late 18th and early 19th century relics and some Civil War.

Thanks for posting that as I was going to ask the same question. I also have two of those from a civil war site, although the hook is broken off of one and the handle is identical. Great work.

They look like the old hand forged one handed bale hooks, but smaller, so maybe they were use to lift a bale of hay / cotton?? with a 3 or 4 hitch point lift ? They for sure look more then a 150 years old.

Giant Catfish hooks from that Dang creek you're always in.
Isn't this you?

Possibly from a kitchen for hanging pots or similar. Similar ones can be found if you google Hand forged hook from fireplace and kitchen. Def hand forged, they look cool.

Well... they could have been used in a multitude of ways.

But ... tis my first guess anyway.
