Vintage school hooks with chunky cast iron number plaques.

Chippy black & white paintwork.

As with most things in life, its getting the details right that makes the difference. Whilst there are plenty of reproduction school hooks on the market they just don't have the the finesse, detail and weight of the real thing.

Chunky cast iron number plaques are designed to fit over the robust steel wire double hooks, these are strong enough to have survived the rigours of school life for almost a century with plenty more years of service left.

We often strip away the years of overpainting and burnish the raw metal, but in this case we liked the graphic look of the restrained black and white colour scheme and so left the chippy paint 'as is'. Each hook and number has been wax polished to bring back the shine and preserve the paint finish ready for use.

We have a decent run of 26 of thes, with some consecutive numbers and a few duplicates. All available numbers are listed below, those in red have now sold.
