Coathooks

I was looking for coat hooks, bit original and not toostandard, to fit the way too many coats my family possesses. On the internet Ifound an advertisement with the following text:

For sale: pre-war coathooks
Cast iron from a pre-war school building

I noticed the seller came from the South of Holland, more specific Heerlen.That is where I’m from! So I replied and I joked if those weren’t coathooksfrom my former school in Welten? Waddayathink? The answer was yes! Although theboys school and not the girls school, that I attended, but still…. what are theodds, eh? And the coincidence didn’t end there: the seller had been a teacherat the school and I had been in his class!
