Old wood handle crochet hooks

[chessie]

A good friend of mine from Germany gave these to me.She thinks they may be at least 60 years old. One is a size 11 the other is size 13. Wondering if anyone can tell me anything about them? She gave them to me because she knew I would appreciate them and she sure is right,I will treasure them.

I saw some of those when visiting friends in Germany. Katchkan might be able to answer hook questions. Sorry I can't tell you about them. They're lovely hooks.

I love old hooks. I have no idea how you'd figure out how old they are.

what a wonderful gift.

Your hooks date from the 1940's - 1950's and are a real treasure. I have one similar in my collection that is marked IMRA which was a German manufacturer from that time period.

 

If I find out any more I will let you know.
