 Started a new project yesterday. Purchased this box at auction. I probably have well over a hundred auger bits but don't think I have any Bay State  bits and don't remember seeing any. Box was empty so all I need are bits from 4/16 to 16/16. Its not really that difficult as they skip the odd numbered sizes in the larger bits. Any of you younger guys want to guess on how long it will take to fill it;you older fellows will probably be deceased before I finish. Whoops I guess I'm one of the older guys. Cest le Vie.

Hopefully someone can post a picture of a Bay State bit.  I do not recall ever seeing one myself.  Not sure if I qualify as an older guy or a younger guy (more like a 50 ish guy), but I think it would take my lifetime to fill the box, unless you stumble on a full set all at one...  Good Luck!!

I have some bits, but don't think any are Bay State. I'll check this weekend.
