Antique Hand made metal Eel Spear Gig from New Jersey Closing : Nov-24-08 12:43:38 PST Click HERE for details!

Up for auction is this wonderful handmade eel spearing gig.came out of a farm in New Jersey in the Delaware River Valley . I am not an expert in these kinds of implements but my understanding is that it was made in or around the later part of the the 19th century the spear head and pole measures 21 feet 6 inches,the head measures 13-1/2 inchs long and 9-1/2 inches wide.The barbs are in good condition they look like you could go out today and use it ,but don`t this is very old . I had to cut the pole in half which leaves me with two poles — I used a fine toothed blade with the idea that I could reattach the halfs with a solid wood peg or use a metal railbolt (its like a screw on both ends) most eel gigs are just sold head only i like to see someone use it for display ,it is something to see when they are in full form.Oh yea the pole is cedar can`t emagin it being made out of oak .I will just ship the head if you would like thats why I will leave shipping up to the buyer —-. one more detail the pole has a dia.of 1-3/4 inches at the base of the head an 1/2 inch dia. at the other end.——————– you can see in the third picture how long this is, cut in half leaning up agents my shop

AUTOMATIC MECHANICAL SPRING HOOK FISH ANIMAL GAFF TRAP Closing : Sep-07-08 18:30:00 PDT Click HERE for details!

THIS SPRING LOADED DEVICE IS 3 1/8TH INCH IN LENGTH. THE MAIN BOY IS MADE OF BRASS, WITH THE 2 JAWS, CENTRAL HOOK, AND PLUNGER MADE OF STEEL OR MAYBE NICKEL? THE FLAT END OF THE PLUNGER INSIDE OF THE JAWS IS SPAMPED “PATS. PEND. MADE U.S.A.” THIS “FISH TRAP?” SETS READILY BUT HAS A HAIR TRIGGER AND GOES OFF EASILY. IT LOOKS TO BE COMPLETE AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT APPEARS TO BE FOR A SMALL ANIMAL OR FISH, BUT I CAN’T FIND ANY INFO IN ANY BOOKS OR ONLINE. YOU WILL HAVE TO BE THE JUDGE OR HOPELFULLY SOMEONE WHO SEES IT KNOWS SOMETHING (PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE-EVEN AFTER AUCTION ENDS) IN MY OPINION, THIS IS OLD AND CERTAINLY FACTORY MADE.

IT HAS A SPRING IN THE TUBE AND THE LITTLE “L” SHAPED PIECE HOLDS THE SPRING DOWN AND THE HOOKS SPREAD. WHEN THE “ANIMAL” PULLS ON THE BAIT, IT PULLS THE “L” SHAPED PIECE FROM HOLDING THE SPRING IN.

Zane Grey’s Personal Fishing Tackle item Ashaway Box Closing : Aug-22-08 18:24:37 PDT CLICK HERE TO BID!

Zane Grey owned Ashaway Special BOATMENS’ Cuttyhunk line box

Coming from Zane Grey’s home in Altadena, CA is this Ashaway Special Boatmen’s Cuttyhunk, hand laid, twisted linen line box. The empty box measures 5 3/8″x 8″x 1 5/8″ and once held 6/12 dozen, 50yd., 45lb wet tested line.

This item came directly from Zane Grey’s home in Altadena, California, and was part of his personal fishing tackle.

The item was purchased from the Lang’s sale in November of 2007 as part of the Brock-Tinglum collection of Zane Grey fishing items.

“For years it had been rumored the 1967 fire had engulfed many of these important articles, which can now be proven false by the presence of this collection. The wish of Brock and Tinglum, who have preserved these important items with care for many years, is to pass each rare object to others who share their enthusiasm for the man that so many, 68 years after his death, are still infatuated with” ~ Lang’s, November 2007

NOTE: This item is sold with a letter of provenance, a copy of which is shown below.

Good Luck! (rb)
