Antiques, Collectables & Vintage. (14% Buyers Commission)
This lot comprises three antique hand tools, identified as auger bits or gimlets, each featuring a T-shaped wooden handle affixed to a ferrous metal shaft terminating in a spiral boring bit. The style is utilitarian and rustic, consistent with tools manufactured prior to modern advancements. The handles are crafted from a dark, aged wood, exhibiting visible grain, wear, and some minor fissures. The metal components, including the shafts and spiral bits, are heavily patinated with dark brown and orange-brown surface rust, indicative of significant age and exposure. No discernible text, maker’s marks, or other identifying engravings are visible on any of the items.
