8 VINTAGE SUSAN BATES CLIPSON CROCHET HOOKS ***VERY RARE***

This type of crochet hook is very rare. I have found 8 amazing hooks over the years. I want them to find a loving home.

I have 6 Clipson hooks with enameled tops.

• Size 13 -- 1 metal hook
• Size 2 – 2 Metal Hooks
• Size 14 – 1 Metal Hook
• Size 4 – 1 Metal Hook
• Size 6 – 1 Metal Hook

I also have two hooks with plastic top with hooks
• Size 14 -- 2 Metal Hooks

The back of the original package reads as follows.
Dear Needleworker:
Here is your Susan Bates Clipson crochet hook. Your Clipson crochet hook has the permanent stitch-saver clip. Slip the last loop of your work under the special clip to prevent those annoying dropped stitches and unraveling, Clipson marks your place when you set your work aside. And Clipson’s colorful knobs easily identify the size hook you are looking for. One more thing you Clipson has the famous “in-line” head {such an improvement over the old fashioned type of hook} to help you crochet smoother – faster—easier—and make your work much more beautiful. Enjoy crocheting with Clipson – Tell your friends about it so their crocheting can be a please too.

Please be sure that this is what you want before you bid as I do not refund credits. I will package items for shipping as I would want someone to package the item to me.

This is used but in very good if not perfect condition. Shipping is free to verified Listia addresses. If you have a P.O. Box Address you must contact me before you bid due to the fact I have had problems with delivery conformation to P.O. Boxes in the past. I will give positive feedback and ask the same. I do my best to describe the items that I put up for auction and I always include untouched images so you can see what you are getting.

If you have questions please ask and I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible. Good Luck and Happy Bidding.

Well, I'm a dope: I have one of these with the clip and couldn't figure out what it was for! duh....

Nov 30th, 2011 at 9:16:47 PM PST by

They are rare and they are worth around 10.00 or more each from what I can find online. I found them from starting bid of 3.00 to over 20.00. Value is in the eye of the buyer. Thanks for sharing.

I set the date so long out for two reasons. One is that is close to my next pay date and it gives time for the bids to go up there is a tablet that I want.

I never could get the hang of crocheting even though my Grandma very patiently tried to teach me :o( I stopped by to check out your auction because the pictures were interesting and I was curious. Glad I did, as I went to the Soldiers' Angels website you provided and joined as a verified member--can't wait to get started on some blankets!! Thanks for sharing and good luck with your auction!

correction- with hooks like this.. Do they have any burs on them that would catch on yarn?

Dec 14th, 2011 at 5:28:15 PM PST by

I looked them over the best that I could and did not feel or see any burs. they are shinny and smooth.

Dec 14th, 2011 at 6:00:10 PM PST by

These are great. I crochet but don't have one with a stitch saver. These would be a great addition to my collection and yes, I have crocheted angels with looks like this.
Thanks for sharing. Fanned and bidding.
