If you are looking for an historic style S-hook, or simply an S-hook with a bit of Old-World character; then look no further. These are tough forged steel (not cast) so it is as strong as you would reasonably expect. Great for linking a pot handle to a chain for cooking over a campfire or open hearth. These would also look very appealing on the rail of an antique or rustic wardrobe and useful there too! Please note: Please clean item thoroughly before use. Item comes oiled.
