Susan Bates Bone and Luxite Crochet HooksEntry/Object ID
2025.76.1Description
Five crochet hooks in the "ice cream cone" style. All are made of bone with the exception of the blue tipped hook which is made of luxite, a more modern plastic designed to have a similar look to bone. The green, blue, and pink tipped hooks are all marked "USA Susan Bates SIZE" 4/5/3 respectively. The other two hooks are not marked. The Susan Bates brand started in 1942 but its parent company began in 1873 as the C.J. Bates and Son Company, which made bone and ivory crafting tools.Collection
