here is a old Swedish Spoon Auger. this was my father's. I remember him using it when I was really little. he later on got a 7 inch Mora auger then finally in 1990 he got his first and only gas auger. he passed away from cancer in December of 1993 and I ended up getting the gas auger and this Swedish spoon auger from my mother after his death. I have been temped to take out the spoon auger and try it out just to see how hard it is to drill a hole with it.
I've been helping clean out an old shed on my grandfather's farm in central WI and was able to score some awesome old ice goodies. I got an awesome swedish scoop hand drill, a few vintage Beaver Dam TipUps, some old jigs and a few awesome inline reels. After doing some research they are 1950s 500 size fly reels from Olympic from Japan. The one pictured is the nicest one and it even has its original box, definitely an awesome score
That's what I'll call an original inline ice reel.
