Re: NOS extreme bend hook ...did I pay to much ???
somebody above mentioned castings/forgings. These hooks were forged and not cast,,,,,right? I know somebody out there is pushing cast hooks. and there might be some confusion.... the factory ones were forged and never cast. castings would be a bit dangerous. Kinda scary and it will ruin the market to flood it with cast look alike hooks.
lets respect this hobby and not ruin the market. I for one will not buy hooks at any price while the market is being flooded with cast hooks. unsafe at any price. I would be suspended from this forum if I stated what I thought of the person pushing castings. as for the price, its worth what your willing to pay, I always lie and state a higher price than I paid. It puts the cheapskates on notice to rethink why they are in this hobby(and not bussiness). I would have been willing to pay those amounts untill that certain somebody started pushing castings. It ruined the market and reflects very badly upon them. |

Re: NOS extreme bend hook ...did I pay to much ???
The 2 extreme bends have the same symbol, but only one has a clear number. The other one you can see where the casting is bumped up where the number would be. The last one is a 69-72 hook with the same number.
The last 2 pics are the different 73-87 (91) hooks I am aware of.

After doing a little research on different types of forging I believe the original hooks were drop forged. Meaning there is a mold but it's a single piece of steel heated and pounded into the mold by a VERY heavy machine/press. I have no actual knowledge of this, this is just my belief ! Gary

The extreme bend hook number ends with -34 ...the other ends with just -4 ????
The one I bought ends with -34 also. It's at the post office now so we'll know in a bit. The USPS won't leave any packages here because of my German shepherds lol. |
