Charles from Belgium is looking for one of these rare hooks. I don’t know a lot about them. He’s got the hook on the right, but looking for the hook on the left. Anyone know where to find them?

Hi Charles, would you have time to educate me? I have no sense of dimension by the pictures. Both hooks seem as they would apply the load away from the bolt pattern. The hook you are looking for looks like a welded fabrication? The one on the right looks like it might have been turned in a lathe from rectangular bar stock, and then bent.
It seems to me the one you don’t want is more substantial and a great more work to create. I’m just curious about what other people see that I can’t.

Please educate me. Where are they found? What era? What purpose was there use? Thanks.
