Yale and Towne lifting hooks
 
I dug out some biggish Yale and Towne ball bearing swivel lifting hooks.

I cannot find a weight capacity anywhere on them. How do I determine
size in order to sell them?

They appear to be brand new. One assumes that they are rated at 5+
tons..but I dont want to over rate them

How do we determine that you acutally own them?

Since you owe creditors including the Government, that property
belongs to your creditors.

The only thing I can think of is to compare them to other hooks the same
size.

Or sell them "AS IS - NO WARRANTY!" If you make it perfectly clear that
they're "caveat emptor," you "should" be "off the hook" (pun originally
unintended, but left in because it's so cute) for any liability.

Cheers!

I cannot find the size of them and no other hooks look comparable. They
are actually..very well made.

Im missing one. I wonder if I gave it to Jon Anderson or somebody? Jon?

Indeed. I have to decide if Im selling them for cash only..or for "wall
hangers". I once sold a 45 ton punch press for cash as a "wall
hanger"..in writing.

When I sell safety equipment, I have buyers sign something like "they
will retain a qualified safety engineer to evaluate any application
involving this product".

How would that get Gummer off the hook for selling stolen property?
