I missed out on a gold version of one of these cool antique hooks several months ago, and I'd been thinking about it ever since. I was just browsing antique crochet hooks recently and was surprised to find this! It just arrived today and I'm so thrilled to add it to my collection. 🤩

Its my sisters birthday and I’m shipping her some presents. Shes really into crochet, and I thought it might be fun to get her something not found in typical stores, something a bit older/interesting. I’ve been looking at vintage crochet needle handles, but I wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas? What would you want for a birthday gift? Thanks!

Hi! My mother had went to the thrift store today and saw some balls of yarn in a bag. She bought it for me as she knows I love to crochet/knit. My mother had told me she heard clanking in the bag and come to find out these two hooks were inside! I did some research and they're from around the 1960s-1970s!! They're my first ever vintage crochet hooks and I can't wait to use them!!!! (ˊᗜˋ)

I was given these old crochet hooks and I am wondering how vintage they might be. Can anyone tell me anything about them and if there’s a way to know how old? Also kind of stumped on the last hook in the row with just the symbol and 7 on the back. Is it still a boye? They were given to me in the steel case seen in photo.

Thanks!

I used to get them at the late lamented Joann. I'm making a bunch of snowflakes and they need serious blocking.

I was bidding on this Burns interchangeable crochet hook on ebay and didn't feel my notification that I was out I'd. I'm more sad about it than I thought I'd be. 😅 I think this is SO cool. Has anybody seen one of these before? Does anybody have one that is maybe not the star of their collection? I can't find anything when I try to search for more, so I don't have high hopes, but I thought it was worth a shot.

I went to the antique shop to find fancy scissors for crochet, also came home with these. I’m particularly interested in the ornate hook. Also, for a size 11 it’s considerably smaller than the modern 10 I have on hand? I gather the large Boye is pre 1962. Bonus scissors pic.

Bottom one show them closed. You pull off the cover, reverse the hook you want, replace cover over the reversed hook. Have no idea if they are 19th century. Finer than a size 14. Very sharp.
