Muskrat stretcher question #8203607 08/26/24 02:05 PM 08/26/24 02:05 PM

I’m curious of who the manufacturer of these was, and was this way of holding the skin any good compared to modern stamped hooks. I can’t seem to find any pictures that are similar to mine. The closest i’ve seen is a newhouse which isn’t joined at the bottom. Any ideas?
