Hardware gurus: hook identification wanted

Hello,
I bought two of these hooks in maybe 2006. Mounted this one with molybolts into a hollowcore door. And want to buy a dozen more. But cannot find the vendor. Been to HomeDepot, Lowes, Ace, DMI, True Value ...
Anyone have an idea?

Have gone in there with the wife looking for door and drawer pulls for a small bathroom remodel and come out about 2 hours later. They have a lot of hard to find hardware.
It looks like a nickel finish. Is it?
these are close,

Thanks, I've got a basket full of similar hooks. These have a shorter, wider base, thicker shaft, and larger, more-rounded ball on the end. Heavy chrome finish, no casting seam.
It is a mystery where I got these! It may have been a Target item they no l;onger carry.
I did find a match, it seemed, but for $20 each!

This Tolson at $42 seems a bargain.
Then again, the Vernon Classic at $20 is twice the value! I think the time to get nice hooks is at garage sales. I've got several c.1927 nbickel-plated brass bath hooks; a buddy scrapped another dozen to buy smokes; what a waste!
Aaaaarrrrg! 😁
You know what? I bet they are discontinued National Hardware hooks. I just ordered two of these - had $5 off coupon. Now if I could find 2 x ⅜" brass flathead screws for an art project ...
Thanks, BB. I’ll be passing through in ‘22. Can never drive by a good hardware shop without a visit!
Don't know the application but maybe just buy ALL new and replace those 2 with 2 of the new ones😉

This hook came from a c.1927 bathroom wall. There were common tub wall hooks. Even the slotted screws had a heavy nickle coating. My buddy scrapped a handful of them for smokes but I managed to get three. Plus some of this brass pipe.
