tunisian crochet hook; special long one for afghans

a possibly rare tunisian crochet hook that has an end like a circular knitting needle. You can crochet a whole afghan on this hook because you can fit a couple hundred stitches on it, if you really crowd the hook. I'm making a baby blanket with it right now. The hook is a "J" Boye hook. You can see it marked on the plastic disc end. Do they still make these? I got it from my grandma who probably bought it back in the 1970's when she worked at the Broadway in Ventura, CA.
