<p>[QUOTE=&quot;*crs*, post: 42904, member: 196&quot;]Hoping someone help confirm what this cast iron piece was used for. It came in a box with some old swing arm curtain hardware. It is threaded and the hook part is hinged. It measures 6 3/4&quot; from end to end and is 2 1/4&quot; at the widest part. It is marked Patented July 1878. When my GF bought this in WI, they thought it was a tieback but I suggested it went into the ceiling to hang an oil lamp/lantern from. A chandelier would work also as long as the weight is evenly distributed. The hook swings open freely and doesn&#039;t latch in anyway. The hook does stay closed when hanging. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]10764[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10766[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10767[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10768[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
