Hi Dave
Happy Holidays My Friend
Keep watching as I am saving the best for last

nice spring action tilt

A great bunch of fish shape tip-ups I got from Maine
Huge :love: set

I am only posting these because I have no idea how they work :smash:

And thet look almost factory made with a nice flag and a wooden float , almost like a sub pump concept :confused: with springs

i have one of those little tip up reels

Another set of home made
simple round dowel with a pipe that slides on top:jump1:

Wish you could see theses up close.
Big fish to trip them huge lead balls :rotf2:
Hate to carry a box of 25 of theses around , they look factory made or ?

These look like "cusk" traps, or some other bottom dwelling species.

One question I have is Where did you get all those wonderful toys?

You may want to check with a sports or maritime museum to see if they are true "works of art" that may be worth something.

Thanks

VB :jump1:

A Nice early boxfull with great green and red colors ..
Check out the date :uhuh:

Another WoW
Combo jig stick /tilt , hand made , Great weights with the owners name on each one in a carring case

Nice Numbered set of ice fishing tip ups

like I said he has more than he should be allowed. Bet he hasn't dragged them out in 2 decades or more. Probably added to the collection since last time I saw them too. Hoarder. Buried next to the furnace. Merry X mas .

OK OK , maybe a few of theses were made by a GREAT Machinist
Back in the day :)

Have a Happy Holiday

can't use them lead balls anymore... so they belong in a museum
or a private display

you need an antique WOODY now
to drive around to ice fishin spots ;o)

Merry Christmas to All
Below I would guess is a salesman display case, but I have never seen another one :jump1: wicked cool icefishing 101

Hey Dave , thanks for posting , hope your having a great day !!

Below is another super nice set in a case .

kool display with old reels , newspaper is dated 1937

Another set with metal reels in a nice old wooden box
Came with some nice old boxes etc like a pair of ear muffs with a metal band to place over your head :) found inside

A very nice set of factory made tilts / tip ups
sorry for the crap cell phone pictures ...lol

as long as they weigh more than an ounce you can use them...

awesome stuff Peter... brings back memories... i had alot of old stuff from my Grandfather.. unfortunatly lost it all in a house fire many years ago...

you mean the lead is only banned because of Ducks? Wow!

i know the wachusett res says no lead period because it's a "guarded" public water supply
but say you were using them BIG BALLS in OL South pond in Brookfield....
that is the drinking water supply too there
just not watched like a Hawk. interesting

Gold :smash: I say :rotf2:

yup.. ducks or "water fowel"... back in the day.. I saw lots of quackers die from lead poisioning... but they never ingested it..:devil2:

Peter.. amazing what some of that stuff will bring to the right buyer/seller.. out of my league.
