The back is identical to the front Hut, actually I don't think there is a "back". They are well made things, whatever they were for. Thanks for any help. :icon_scratch:

They can't be exactly alike... the hook would be facing the other direction! LOL

Oops! you're right Cindy, The reverse is the same, the castings are symmetrical. What do you suppose they were? :icon_scratch:

A wild guess: tablecloth weights?

I agree it is some type of weight, but most of the tablecloth weights I've seen had a spring loaded clip to attach it to the cloth. These have no way of attaching to the fabric. My thoughts would be a weight that already has a pull-string or pull chain on it, like a window shade, ceiling fan, or ceiling light/lamp. Since there are 7 of them, all alike, and it would hook with the crest showing, I'm going with a window shade pull. Of course the one below is not like yours, but the idea is the same.
