Buttonhooks were commonly used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to help fasten buttons on clothing, particularly boots, gloves, and other tight-fitting garments that had many small buttons. The hook end was inserted through the buttonhole to catch the button and pull it through. Here are a few notable features from the image: • Hooked metal end: For pulling buttons through tight holes. • Decorative handle: Often made from celluloid, bone, or ivory-like materials, sometimes monogrammed like the one in your image. • Monogram: The engraved initials on the handle suggest it may have belonged to a particular person, adding a personal or heirloom quality. These are now mostly collectible items or curiosities from a bygone era of fashion.
