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.

Common name: Butterfly tree, Pink butterfly tree, Purple bauhinia, Purple butterfly tree, Purple orchid tree, Kaniar कनियार (Hindi), நீலத்திருவத்தி Nilattiruvatti (Tamil), Koiral (Bengali), Og-yok (Assamese), Rakta chandan (Marathi), Devakanchan (Kannada)

Botanical name: Bauhinia purpurea Family: Fabaceae/Leguminosae (pea family)

The Purple Orchid Tree is an exotic tropical tree that blooms over a long period of time. The beautiful & fragrant, classic, Orchid-like flowers of Bauhinia purpurea makes this small tree, native to India, a favourite of many plant lovers. In fall, before the leaves drop, Orchid-Tree is festooned with many showy and delightfully fragrant, five-inch-wide blossoms, the narrow purple, pink, and lavender petals arranged to closely resemble an orchid. These flowers appear on the trees from September through November and are a beautiful sight to see, creating a vivid splash of color in the autumn landscape. Purple orchid tree can be easily distinguished from Orchid Tree (Bauhinia variegata) in that the petals of Purple orchid tree are narrower and do not overlap. On the other hand, the petals of Bauhinia variegata are broad and overlap - it never open fully flat. The flowers are followed by 12-inch-long, slender, brown, flat seedpods which usually persist on the tree throughout the winter. The foliage light green and deeply notched at the tip. Bauhinia purpurea can reach up to 20 feet tall and have a 25 foot crown

Early on a freezing cold morning, with the frost still on rails and sleepers, Bulleid 'Merchant Navy' Pacific 35017 'Belgian Marine' races through Hook on the down through line with an express from Waterloo. There are no signs of the impending electrification, and a single covered van sits in the down freight spur. The Bulleid's exhaust is drifting forward across the smokebox in front of the chimney, which gives an indication of how fast it was travelling.

I wonder how it came to be that this hook was placed on this windowsill. The place was abandoned and there was no reason for anyone to care about such a small detail, yet the hook was there. I imagine a small motion placing it there, a resigned gesture, an intention to be respectful of this lonely place.
