Antique hooks

[Abby17]

Hello! New to the forum. I’ve become very interested in some older and antique crochet hooks. I’ve recently found a bunch of old hooks and I’m struggling to date them. I’ve been looking at lacebuttons.com which has a bunch of info but I was wondering if anyone knew about any other books or websites that talk about brands, styles, years, etc. thank you!!

Welcome to the group! That is a really interesting site. I don't know of any other sources.

Edited, I'd given the wrong link - look 2 posts down for the correct one, a link on dating  Boye hooks I ran across

I think you meant to paste a different link.  That one takes me to mercerized cotton yarn on LoveCrafts.

OOPS!  Thanks, you are right - I'd replied to another post about sturdy yarn to use for purses and this is the link I'd meant for that post.  I probably had too many tabs open, this is the blog I meant to link here https://crochetistheway.blogspot.com/2015/12/hooks-with-history-boye.html

Now to make sure I didn't give the purse yarn searcher a link about hooks...
