Featured Ok. Who knows what this could be?

Picked this up at my last visit to the estate, and can't figure out what it is.
Or what to search....

 

Could be for pulling down window blinds (on tall windows like in my elementary school) OR for pulling down those big roll-up wall maps. (same school)

 

OH! Ha! I know...but too late....

 

It was also useful for pulling down the projection screen for movies or film strips.

 

The owner was a Teacher so wall map sounds like a good place to start Bakersgma ~ UR beautiful!

 

King, ur Beautiful too

 

Oh...well........I never.....

 

I'm thinking a transom window opener...

 

Yes, that too.

 

Other have a little wiggle in the hook and a knob at the end.

 

I actually have a hockey stick with about 2/3 of the blade gone.
It's very handy for 'hooking' things...still.

 

I found examples of Transom window poles, but I can't find anything just like this.

 

I'd say this one was unusual as more should be like I described.

 

Hi,
I have the brass end of that window opener sitting on the shelf in my hallway. Everyone guesses something different only the really old know what it is.

HEY!!!!

 

That's what I see King, but nothing like mine. Could it be a tool for school like Bakersgma said?

 

These were/are in schools and factories.
Yours is just a different version that, possibly, was used for not only maps but windows and transoms as well.
These don't come with directions so it would've been used for whatever.

 

Here's another shape. See the latch below that>
