<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 4513016, member: 76316&quot;]I began this collection in the early 1980&#039;s, incidental to the gift of the 2-piece double hook on the right from a girlfriend who enjoyed my eclectic assortments of treasures. I don&#039;t have the slightest crochet skills, but I do appreciate the high craft evident in some of the work I have seen. These haven&#039;t been sought out so much as serendipitously stumbled upon in my quest for other additions to my dragon&#039;s hoard. Some are obviously bone. The overall attraction for me has been the sweet lathe-work on one end, and the finely carved hook on the business end...which must acquire the correct thread and move the created loop without either snagging or losing it.</p><p><br /></p><p>So very tiny are a few of these hooks...like the single steel, 3rd from the left; its hook is .044&quot; side to side. As a reference the dead-white one 5th from left is 5⅝&quot; long, .195&quot; (5mm) in diameter.</p><p><br /></p><p>As always, thanks for lookin&#039;!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]396525[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]396526[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]396527[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]396528[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
