Every good girl deserves a Boye...
is an ad from the 1950's for Boye crochet hooks. In addtion to the standard aluminum and steel hooks... here are some hooks you might want to add to your collection..
Bone Hooks
Steel Yarn Hooks
Interchangeable Hook Set showcased at the 1933 World's Fair.
I am unsure as to whether you check your comments, but I too have that interchangeable set by Boye. It does not, however, have the 1933 fair insignia in the top, but all the other details: the green velvet and the black elastic and golden box color. It was given to me by a customer, whose hair I used to style. It is missing two hooks, though. I always wondered how old is was, as it was given to her when she was very young. I am excited to learn that it is bone, as I figured it was. My granny used to crochet/knit/tat and always tried to teach me, but I was never any good. She has passed on now, and I certainly wished I were more patient when I was younger! thanks for your informative site.
