Maine 2
« on: September 25, 2013, 02:58:12 pm »
Ok...so I'm helping my dad and uncle take care of my grandfathers estate.  So any help identifying or putting a price on the items I'm listing would be very helpful.  Also where to sell them would be helpful.
Thanks, Ethan

For the ice cutting industry?

Did someone in your family by chance own or work at an ice house?

With your older ice grips foot wear, etc... they either did alot of ice work (like block cutting, ice fishing)
