[SEL] ring traveler help

[Mark Shulaw]

Looks like some type of curtain hook. I remember some of those older 
curtain holder mechanisms that had pull ropes that opened and closed 
the curtains like theater curtains but meant for a house had hooks 
that looked like that. Those open and close mechanisms which the 
curtains hung on might have been the traveler.  I am pretty sure 
thats what they were called.   Mark
