I was given these today and wondering if they would be worth anything to someone to hang on the wall. I still use the hand auger when I ice fishing I have never used a spoon auger. They are made in Sweden

Iceshanty.com is the site to try. I have had one, in the 80s I think. They cut a bigger hole than the Spoon is. Not hard to sharpen but a newer auger cuts lots faster.

Take the spoon off and replace it with a 3" auger. It makes fast deep dirt holes.

3" auger?? Catching minnows? They make them that small?

He's talking about Dirt Holes.

If your using an old ice hole, nothing better than a spoon to ream it out without grabbing like a regular auger. It cuts/scrapes the bottom and sides of the old hole better than anything! Got to keep them good and sharp tho.

Boy, I like that black auger...sure would go great with this ice fishing print...you can see an auger in the print leaning up against the ice
shanty, just like the one you have posted....

That is a great picture. That black auger has heavy spring wrapped around the crank for turning. It is an old one I new the old boy that bought it new.

Some of the cup drills actually worked pretty well in their day vs a spud. Not sure which style it was but remember one cutting around and leaving maybe a two inch plug laying on the ice. There was one also with 3-4 flat sharp edges?
I got one here I took my angle grinder cut the cup down narrow. Was using it for digging dirt holes. But like so many other things unless your working right out of the truck I didn't care much for lugging it along. Ok I guess if your pre digging. Mine has been sitting in corner of garage for quit few years now.
