Curious Old Carved Pine Hook with Threaded Bolt edition print over a threshold or anywhere

over a threshold or anywhere

This looks very much to be hand-drawn in black ink but the postcard has a bit of glossy finish so I'm not 100% sure

which is is missing one short end but otherwise in tact

perhaps for this reason

I've found souvenir pennies matching this one from everyone from Niagara Falls to the New York World Fair

Curious Old Carved Pine Hook with Threaded Bolt edition print over a threshold or anywhereI don't know what it is (maybe a mold?) but just think it's pretty cool, and has the feel of a whimsy to me, or a surrealist object.

I think I'd mount it to the wall as a completely useless suggestion of a hook. 11" long x 1 1 2" wide x 5 13 16" d and in good condition, nice dry wood patina, with a few nicks to the wood
