This vintage Boye Needle Company crochet hook display, likely dating from the 1940s–1950s. This two-tiered burgundy plastic counter display was originally designed for retail use and features the full range of steel and aluminum crochet hooks from sizes 00 to 14, organized in numbered slots.

 

The front showcases the original Boye “Better Than the Best Hook” label, while the interior lid retains the original size chart, listing the recommended uses for each range of hook sizes. Hooks appear to be mostly complete with multiple hooks per size in many of the compartments.

Condition

Good for age and use.  Some hooks are likely missing. See photos for more details.
