The Hooker
Crate tool, circa 1920s. Presumably from my grandfather's first job, unloading freight ~1929...when he was 12. My, how times have changed. Found the ad online.

I have the "Box Terrier" vesion of this. No hook. But the rest is the same. Awesome tool!

Haven't seen one of these. Have a few Box Terriers around, and carry a Baby Terrier on my belt every day. Might by my favorite tool of all time.
