Rare authentic antique folding button hook. This pocket-sized tool was a staple of Victorian fashion, designed to help pull small buttons through stiff leather or fabric buttonholes on boots and gloves.

Construction: Heavy-duty forged metal with a beautiful aged patina.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The hinge is functional, and the metal shows character consistent with its age.
Versatility: While originally for boots, these are now highly collectible and often used by lace-makers, knitters, or as unique display pieces for antique enthusiasts.
