Huge Iron HookIron ship hooksThis is a movable metal sculpture made of two huge old iron hooks connected through a link. They came from Maine and were likely used on a large ship, possibly for holding anchor chain. One side is painted red and the other green, indicating port and starboard. This is an old, working repaint. Each hook is about 12" long by 7" wide and 1 1/2" at the thickest. They are mounted on a black, custom iron base and can be arranged in several different configurations. Age is unknown, but they are old, in excellent, used condition. The price is $150.00.

Spam signHere is a sheet of the original printed metal Spam cans before they were cut out and formed. There are 30 cans on which are printed six delicious recipes, including "Polynesian Spam".
