These little hooks are my all time favorites! They are so darn unpretentious and easy to install to boot.

EH1030 Pre-1950 Swivel Wall Hook for Plants

Pre-1950 Swivel Wall Hook for Plants

I’m not sure exactly how old this hook is but packaging would indicate before 1950.  Also, I used to have one in my own home and I can attest to the fact that the prior owners did nothing to the house after 1950 :o)   As you can see, this hook comes in the original packaging (although I had to take...

EH1016 Old Brass Fleur de lis Hook

Old Brass Fleur de lis Hook

Although this hook is definitely pre-1950 I’m not sure exactly how old it is. Due to the imperfections in the original casting, I would suspect around 1920 during the Arts & Crafts movement. This hook appears to be made by the same craftsman as our Angel Hook – Item EH1015. Regardless of its...
