DescriptionThis hook was used for veterinary services. The hook is made of one continuous piece of metal that has been curved in different spots. The hook is at the top, it is small and pointed, with a sharp curve that straightens into a straight handle. At the bottom of this handle the metal curves again to form a wide hoop that can be held. The end of the metal does not curve all the way around to the straight section, there is a space between the two parts.
