I have a 37 year old HT Polar that was my first tip up I ever owned. I still use it too! Started getting a little “sticky” so I packed new blue lube in the spindle/shaft and it spins like new.  :tipup:
I own and use 10 HT Polar (magnetic pop up) tip ups that were purchased in the late 80s. Made in Wisconsin. I love them; so easy/quick to set up and break down. Heard the ones made now are junk but mine will outlast me and will end up with my son for sure.

I have some standard wooden tip-ups that I've used since I was a kid that are at least 45 years old. I also have some of the original polar tip-ups that have to be 30-35ish?

Picked up these the other day.  From a barn find out east the seller indicated.  They seem a bit to consistent to be homemade but I have never seen anything like them.

Don't actually fish with it, probably 1950s maybe 60s
