Re: British Sword hanger?

It looks stamped, not engraved. The crown look more German than Brit. Not beefy enough for a sword hanger... maybe a picture hanger? :dontknow:

A pic of the whole thing would help.

Re: British Sword hanger? NEW pics

could be picture hanger, its the right size & metal, & they were often decorated. It also looks as though the crown section has been stressed where its been fatten fropm its curve. Also the two hooks look good for hanging a picture, but the bottom section confuses it all :icon_scratch:

Hey Jeff,

I don't know if you saw my reply to this question in my post on "Today's Finds" about your whatsit, but like I said there, I know I have seen something similar that I think was used with clothing. Maybe to pull up socks? Sorry, the old thinking cap isn't like it used to be. After I get back from my relic hunting trip I'll see if I can do some research for you!

Yes it may be some kind of garter clip. It sort of reminds me of this with the 2 hooks. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,204413.0.html

hi ,i think you may have a 19th century wall mount "Scissor Holder" hung in the kitchen or sewing room. First designed by swiss doctor Theodor Kocher . Also used as a rabbit stringer.In common use by the late 1890's

Re: British Sword hanger? NEW pics.. solved, scissors hanger, thanks tinpan

How does it attach to the wall? It doesnt have much of a hook on top. I would also like to see how it fits a pair of scissors. Try it and post a pic please then try and hang it, because I dont see it.:icon_scratch:

ADDED: OK I see the one found by tomlinson has a better hook on top like a rail picture hanger. . I would still like to see how the scissors fit in the bottom crimp.

Re: British Sword hanger? NEW pics.. solved, scissors hanger, thanks tinpan

I like the scissors suggestion, however leaning towards picture hanger. The lower hanger attachment method is interesting :read2:

Cool relic :icon_sunny:
