OK. I give up. What are these hooks for?

Makes me think about how far I/we have come in camping. Having a Colman lantern was first class camping a step up from the candle lanterns and the kerosene lamps. The hooks are a great addition to a campsite. It gives you a safe place to hang the lantern so that it lights the campsite but is far enough away to keep the bugs away from the table.
I wonder if I hung wind chimes off the pols and stuck a label saying "DO NOT REMOVE UNDER PENALTY" how many would be there in a couple of mouths.
Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year

It also works for a Ozark Trail Lantern.

I heard you have to turn the hook around for those Ozark Trail lanterns. :-p

Hang a bug zapper

Its there for whatever you want to use it for.

The belt loop was the first thing that came to my mind too. :B

I was wondering when someone would catch that :)

And, a lantern seems like the most obvious use for it.

I've seen others on here seem bewildered by what they are, only conclusion I can draw is they never stay in public CG's, as every State Park, National Park, National Forest, COE CG that we've ever stayed in, has had one of these. :h

Same here. Every public park I've been to has them. I've been told that they're for lanterns, and that's what I use it for.

Though the stripper pole answer is better.

You are all wrong. The hook is where Wishbone hangs the dinner triangle.

I am sure it is for hanging a coleman lantern but also could be used for hanging a trash bag.
