Antique Carved Ebony Tambour / Crochet Hook Continental * Circa 1870 This antique tambour or crochet hook is made of ebony with a smoothly
carved handle. The
collar and thumbscrew are brass. It unscrews so that the hook size can be changed. It has the one tiny steel hook. The condition is excellent and the thumbscrew holds the hook securely. It has a beautiful old patina and measures 5 1/8" long with a hook in place. The little hook is quite sharp so I'm pretty sure it was used for tambouring.
