For sale is a vintage steel auger set in a handmade sliding wood box. Auger bits were essential woodworking tools from the 19th through mid-20th century, used with hand braces to drill clean, precise holes in wood. These bits were typically sold in organized wooden boxes with fitted compartments, allowing craftsmen to keep their various sizes protected and readily accessible. Quality manufacturers like Irwin, Jennings, and Russell produced these sets with hardened steel cutting edges and carefully graduated sizes, making them indispensable in carpentry, furniture making, and general construction work. Vintage auger bit sets appeal strongly to woodworking enthusiasts, tool collectors, and craftspeople who appreciate traditional hand tools.

These sets are valued both for their practical utility in restoration work and period-appropriate woodworking, as well as for their historical significance in the evolution of carpentry tools. Collectors particularly seek complete sets in original wooden boxes, as they represent the craftsmanship and organization methods of earlier generations of tradesmen.

Approximate wood box measurements: 10.75”W X 10.5”D X 4”H. Set has 18 steel augers. Presented with wear consistent with age and use. A great tool set housed in a handsome sliding wood box.

Offered for sale at $95.
