Crossman 1850 Patent Auger Handles2 1850 Patent Crossman & Co. Auger Handles  One is much larger than the other, and both are in like new unused condition.  They are an interesting design, and well thought out to solve the problem of the bits loosening and falling out during use, but i am sure did not meet with much favor from the foreman who was trying to increase productivity.  To use you have to unscrew the handles w/ a threaded rod, insert it through the collar and the bit, then rescrew it back together.  It is a very positive lock feature, but it is little wonder they look to have never been used.

Angle Drills / Corner Drills5 Angle Drills / Corner Drills  The top three angle / corner drills are adjustable and you can get a sense of the different ideas utilized when in a tight corner.  Look at the picks to see all the features of the patented version on the top.  It is pretty wild.

The second one is a like new Millers Falls.  You use to be able to find these all the time, but the supply has pretty much dried up.

These are nice and all slightly different.

Pump Auger or Pipe Auger Drill BitsPump Auger or Pipe Auger Drill Bits  There are 8 different versions or sizes of these rare auger drills included here.  Several have aux. guards or cutters attached that could be sharpened and / or replaced.  These were mostly used by early settlers to make water pipes or pump housings.  I was reading one story where the early California settlers used a set of these to bring down the largest of the virgin Redwoods or Sequoias down by Calaveras back in the early days when they could not think of any other way to bring down a 300+ ft. tall tree that was over 25' in Dia.  It took them 20 some days to destroy what had taken 2,000 or more years to grow, just so they could say they did it. All appear to be usable.  Nice.
