Antique Carved Cow Bone Changeable Crochet Hook Germany * Circa 1890 This antique
crochet hook allows for the
removal of the hooks to change sizes.
The handle is
carved
of cow bone (bovine)*. The metal tip screws down tightly to
secure the hook. It has one small steel hook,
about the same as an American steel size 10. The condition is excellent with no chips, cracks or other damage and the hook holding mechanism is in good working order. It measures 5" long with the hook in place. *This item is made of bone from a domestic cow (bovine) and NOT from an endangered species or an ivory producing species.
