What is it? Pegboard accessory.

[Itinerant]

This accessory was in a box of pegboard hooks that were left behind by the previous owner when I moved into my present home. Can anyone tell me what it’s for?

Rope or cord hanger?

 

[toolmiser]

I think you have it upside down. Looks like a hanger

I don’t think so, I think it’s designed for something to slide down into the V.

I thought it looked like a hanger when I found it, but this is the only way it will mount to the pegboard.

Does the portion in/behind the pegboard look similar to below?



For some reason, to me it looks like it's supposed to stick out from the board.

And if so, move the inserted ends closer. Perhaps it got bent and happens to fit holes 1 and 3. Rather it should fit holes 1 and 2.

There must be a reason for that little protruding loop at the lower end.

I'll guess that it fits behind or into some other pegboard accessory.

Looking at it suddenly hit me- I wonder if it's to hold something slid in from the top. Like a level or multi meter or to store a power bar or something else squarish?

Or is the V meant to have something slid into it to hold something that hangs down from the front?

The attachment ends are single bend, so as I said above, it only fits in the manner shown although the gap at the top can be narrowed to adjacent holes.

This is what I think.

Anyway, I appreciate the replies. Since I don’t know what it is for, I’m sure I haven’t any immediate use for it.

Gondola hook?

 

[Debcrow]

OK, I was about to suggest that it may not even be for a pegboard. Just happened to show up there.

I would hazard a guess you stick something behind it like a hand saw, square or level and they are used in pairs

My guess was something like rolls of electrical tape, on edge.

 

[The Cobbler]

my first guess is it's not for pegboard. my second guess? I don't have one

 

[PCustoms]

I'm going to guess that @Old Man Roger is correct

 

[Old Man Roger]

Its probably meant to hold a saw set.

I'm going to guess that Old Man Roger is correct

It certainly seems so.

Remember...... curiosity killed the cat!

I would bet it would fit nicely in the trash can!

I’m not afraid of dying.

It’s already in the recycle bin.

If you have peg board it could be bent into any shape you’d like.

OMR, you have been in FL long-enough to know Winn Dixie (I'm not sure if you're a native). The remark about store gondolas reminded me of my early work history.

Back in the 1970's, Winn Dixie was what Publix is today, in FL. The #1 grocery chain. They had something like nearly 80% of the market. Over time, the % of market attributable to them declined, and that of Publix rose. Now, Publix is the Big Kid on the Block.

I moved to So. FL in the early 1970's and I got a job in a week, working on a construction co. building and re-modeling Winn Dixies. It was where I got my construction education. I had never worked in construction before, I was in my early 20's, and this proved to be a good way to build my knowledge. I worked with a 'colorful' group of co-workers, most of whom were journeymen in their respective trades. Some were masters. I paid attention, and I learned about nearly everything on a commercial job: layout, excavation, foundation, concrete formwork, framing, masonry, electrical work, carpentry, tying steel rebar for columns and tiebeams, and setting it in-place, pouring concrete in forms and for slabs, and much-more.

One of my favorite things to do was the layout of the movable shelving when the store was preparing to open. A couple of trailers would get dropped-off in the parking lot, and once the store closed for the evening, we would start removing the old gondolas and replacing them with the new gondolas. I was renting an apartment w/acquaintances, so no shop, nor anything to put in one. I had no call to take some gondolas of my own from the old ones we removed.

We would work all night, from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. We got the next day off, and it was usually a 2-day job to remove/replace the gondolas. I eventually found a need for a couple of gondolas and shelving, and they moved with me several times.

Your guess about the purpose of that bent wire sounds reasonable. The translucent plastic piece hanging from the hook may be for those 'sale' tags: BOGO, New; Now more per package; $ saving ticket; etc.

I got some shelves when the Kmart/sears in west palm went out of business. I was in a Winn Dixie just the other day, up here they are super nice, but because the ones in west palm were run down my girl prefers Publix.

For a mason’s float?
Put it in sideways.
