Antique hand ice auger, Antique dealers in fishing stuff

[ajs]

I inherited an old hand ice auger. Probably one of the very first models. Does anyone know any collectors or dealers who might be interested?

Try Tim Hales fish huts, it's possible he might want it for his wall in the office..
Just a suggestion.
Good luck..

Can you post a pic? I may be interested…. Thanks!

The augers only value will be to a collector. I’m not a collector but got its age it is not in bad shape… and I assume it works. Hopefully I do the picture thing correctly.

Thanks for the pic! Since I have one of those in my collection, I no longer have any interest, but thank you for posting.

I remember those. I know someone who had a homemade version---made from 1/2 of a cap from an acetylene bottle.

Thanks Smilee, sounds like you are a collector. Any idea what it is worth ?

[Smilee]

Not that much. Condition,condition,condition. Plus they are not that rare.
$15/$20 bucks…… to the right person

Thanks for the information.
