The first skyhook was found in a Dutch sailor’s bar. A stonethrow from moored windjammers. Serving to announce closing time, which might be anywhere from midnight to early sunrise.
That skyhook carried the image of a pipe smoking Cape Horn deckhand. They soon became fol- art expressions, then turned into images of whales and Santa’s. After all this was late 19th century when whale oil lighted mansions and Santa and his Tree were first hustled across the Atlantic. Our in-house artists developed new fun Santa’s, Fishermen, Alice in Wonderland fun characters, and an array of others. Recommended!
