[TheForge] Gamehook on Ebay

Fri Mar 14 13:27:01 2003

It is a nice piece and worth at least the current bid.

Is it an antique? Hard to say; dimensional material has been around a long
time as have arc welders and the hooks do not look forge welded, split off,
etc. Decorative twists are out of character for this kind of item though.
Who would decorate a smokehouse hook?. The aging is awful uniform too. So I
doubt it's an "Antique."

Of course that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. <grin>

Regardless, like Phlip I'm adding the design to "my" idea book. <grin>

If it ain't forged
it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
