This solid brass coat hook comes from an "old federal building", according to the label on the back.
Being in Chicago, this likely means it originally hung somewhere in Henry Ives Cobb's Chicago Federal Building, demolished in 1965. I imagine dozens of them, lining the hallway of the judges' chambers... or in a cloak room off the lobby. Who knows.
I love the worn patina, the little voids and spots where the molten metal didn't quite fill, and the overall size and heft; it juts out 4" from the base, and stands nearly 5.5" tall. Feels like it's around a pound.
I hope to one day reproduce these in brass - maybe also a darkened bronze. It'd make a killer bathrobe hook, and I could even imagine a row of them, lined up on an exposed brick wall in a garage or barn.
It's a simple, utilitarian design that neither Melissa nor I have seen before. That's saying something, as we've looked at a lot of old hardware. At $25, we just couldn't pass up.
Found over the weekend locally on Craigslist.
The Sandy Hook Lighthouse, located about one and a half statute miles (2.4 km) inland from the tip of Sandy Hook, New Jersey, is the oldest working lighthouse in the United States. It was designed and built in 1764 by Isaac Conro. At that time, it stood only 500 feet (150 m) from the tip of Sandy Hook; however, today, due to growth caused by littoral drift, it is almost one and a half miles (2.4 km) inland from the tip.
The light was built to aid mariners entering the southern end of the New York Harbor. It was originally called New York Lighthouse because it was funded through a New York Assembly lottery and a tax on all ships entering the Port of New York. The lighthouse has endured an attempt to destroy it as an aid to British navigation by Benjamin Tupper, and a
subsequent occupancy of British soldiers during the Revolutionary War.
Sandy Hook Lighthouse, which was restored in spring 2000, is part of the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area administered by the National Park Service. Seven days a week, National Park Service Park Rangers offer free tours every half hour from 1:00 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.

St Peter's church in Hook Norton is a fine medieval building, Norman in origin (traces remain visible in the chancel) but in appearance belonging mostly to the later Middle Ages with a spacious late 14th century nave and a stately pinnacled Perpendicular west tower from c1500.
The interior is flooded with light, thanks to minimal use of stained glass and white-rendered walls, though we are reminded how different the original effect would have been by the fragmentary 15th century mural over the chancel arch where a pair of angels and male saints (very rustic work) can be seen against a red ground, no doubt originally supporting figures formerly flanking the carved crucifixion group of of the lost rood screen.
The stained glass in the east window is Victorian and nothing special, but that in the south aisle is a far more inspiring piece, a late work by the studio of Morris & Co serving as a WWI memorial.
The most important artefact in the church however is the 11th century font, a cylindrical drum carved with figures in relief, coarse in quality but fascinating in subject, with a group of Adam & Eve with the Tree of Knowledge, followed by several rather pagan-looking figures from the zodiac.
