If you collect ice fishing gear, please read this offering. This vintage (1950's) custom made box with ice fishing tip ups comes with: 8 brass reels, 2" in diameter and 7/8" wide, reel foot is 1" wide; side bracket holds reel to reel foot.  The reel foot fits into the tip up. Reel spins freely and has a brass handle with a hard rubber or wood turning spindle.  The line on the reel is vintage green cotton line. The reels sit in a separate compartment in the box.   The tip ups (uprights) are all original, made of ash (visual observation). All flags are original. Felt spacers are original. Felt spcers were oiled to keep the tip up hinges lubricated.  The reel holder hardware on each tip up is held on with copper and brass screw. The line holder at the top of each tip up is copper/brass/alloy. There is some blue green oxidation on two of the uprights. The flag holder is brass.   Tip ups are 17 1/2 inches long X 1 inch wide X approximately 1/2 inch thick.  The articulating flag holder is 3 inches long. The brass flag holder is approximately 6 inches long. The reel foot slides up and then down in the holder to lock the reel in place on the tip up.  Some reels fit tightly, using steel wool and light oil or silicon will help ease the reels in place.   The top portion of the wooden carrying box has two compartments, one holds the reels, the other holds supplies.  The reel compartment is open without a top, the equipment compartment is covered with a thin leather hinged wood slat.  One leather hinge is deteriorated and can be easily replaced. The bottom compartment of the box holds the tip ups.  The cloth straps holding the tip ups are original, one clasp does not secure the strap.  The vintage Philip Morris Co. LTD Inc. tobacco can contains over 30 vintage black enameled fishhooks, and several other hooks. Hooks are estimated to be size 6.  The tobacco can has a sliding top and a cloverleaf on the bottom of the can. The vintage Band Aid box (advertises the Robin Hood television series in the 1950's) contains assorted hardware related to the box and tip ups. The small glass vial and cord was used to carry lubricating oil for the felt pads. Please see photos, and please don't hesitate to ask questions about this unique ice fishing piece. The light homemade canvas bag comes with the kit. The kit does not fit in the bag, may have been used to carry tip ups alone or other supplies and equipment.  It stores inside the box.
