Is it a hay hook? Ice hook? Meat hook?

Found this a few days back as well as an axe head and some other tools and knick knacks in the foundation of an old tool shed. The house was abandoned in the 1940s. I did electrolysis on it and the axe head. They were both heavily rusted and I wanted them at least half restored to display and I am extremely happy with how the axe turned out ( it's on my shelf in my room) and the hook is almost done. I know you shouldn't clean most items we find, but I'm not letting these sit rusty in my garage and they aren't of much value all rusted up. The metal is almost like a wire material. I would say it's a foot or so long. I have posted a few "what is this" posts this week and I honestly appreciate every reply I get. I have a lot to learn and at 23 I have many years of treasure hunting left in me! Haha

The wire bag tie tool looks like the same size shape and hook. This guy probably just made it for his wife to hang a basket on a wall and 70 years later we are all trying to figure out what it was used for haha.

It does but seems too large for that application to me. Never know
