A copper alloy hook, from a hook and eye fitting of Modern date, probably AD 1800 - 1980. It is made from thick gauge circular-sectioned copper alloy wire, bent double, then bent into a hook, with the ends each curving out to the side to form two sewing or attachment loops. The object is 37.1mm long, 25.4mm wide, 18.9mm thick and weighs 14.0g.

Fasteners like this were used on uniforms in the 19th century and beyond, though…

The dress fitting is 13.3mm long, 11.6mm wide and…
