Yep....I also remember the wooden ice fishing box/sled. There was a place in the front to put a lantern and you sat with the lantern between your legs. When you caught a fish you put it in the slot on the side of the box. Rods went in the back. Not sure they were produced. I know I made mine and every one I knew did also. And you're right, we didn't know what an auger was back then.
