Description
COAT HOOK WITH NUMBERS
Our Coat Hook With Numbers will give your home or office hallway or cloakroom a traditional feel with our range of numbers and letters set in the design of an old school hat and coat peg. These unique and hand-crafted traditional school coat hooks have been designed to give a look that will bring memories of your school years flooding back. This heavy-duty, cast-iron Coat Hook With Numbers will arrive with a ceramic tile from 1 to 99 or letters from the alphabet of your choice. The ceramic tiles are covered with special click cut adhesive labels which are wipeable, UV stable and non-fade. They look identical to printed versions, but the labels allow us to produce more variants. All of our hooks are supplied with black fixing screws to secure them to the wall or door. Alternatively, these could be fitted to a wooden wall mounted coat rack.
Original school coat hooks are becoming increasingly difficult to source and when found they can prove expensive. With this in mind, along with our Coat Hook With Numbers, the Rustic Merchant brings you a wide range of vintage style hooks that come at an affordable price. As with all of our products, they are made by traditional methods, hand cast or wrought to ensure that every product is unique with its own imperfections. They are finished in matt black and come with matching screws.

How A Cast Iron Item is Made
We thought you might be interested in this process: –
Stage 1 Making the First Template
Once we have decided what we want to produce, the initial phase of tool creation involves designing a model template. For example, a wooden prototype of a coat hook such as a School Coat Hook is crafted. This prototype is subsequently pressed into specially prepared sand to create impressions on both sides. Following this, molten iron is poured into the mould. After the iron solidifies, the mould is broken apart to unveil the first casting.
Stage 2 The First Casting
The casting looks rough and uneven due to the wooden mould used. Although wood isn’t perfect for smooth castings, it’s beneficial for making initial prototypes. Here, it enabled the production of the first mould. The subsequent step involves refining the casting through grinding to achieve the desired finish. This will result in a smooth and polished prototype, forming the foundation for our new hook design.
Stage 3 Begin Casting
The coat hook, now cleaned and polished, showcases its freshly squared centre. This cast iron hook is primed for recasting, facilitating the production of additional hooks. Each will be hand-finished, underscoring our dedication to authentic hand-cast craftsmanship. Consequently, while our products will look the same, each will have a unique character. This principle is applied across our full line of cast iron hooks, handles, and hinges.
Stage 4 The Finished Product
The coat hook is now complete. As evident, the finish matches that of the first image, resulting in a square window. During the creation of the tooling for this coat hook, a landscape variant was also produced. Consequently, we now offer three distinctive styles of this coat hook in portrait, landscape and square, exclusive to our collection. These will be available in stock soon, once the artwork is finalise
