  Tree / Pole Climbing Spikes Leather Padded Melling Forging Co.   Up for auction are a set of tree/pole climbing spikes. I do not know how old they are but they have the following stamped on each of them:   MELLING FORGING CO. LANSING MICH. Brooks Patent No. 1956852   Below is a link to the patent that George Brooks filed in 1933.   http://www.google.com/patents/US1956852   They are certainly used but all the pieces seem to be there. The leather padded shin guards, the leather straps and the metal buckles. The leather is aged and I would be leery using them to climb anything without making sure they are still safe to use. It looks like the iron was painted red at one time. The one upper belt looks like it has either a “06” or a “90” stamped on it. I don’t see any other markings on the item.   They measure about 18 inches high and the spikes are about 3 1/2 inches long. They may not be a matching set. The one is about an inch longer than the other and one has three straps to hold the shin guard in place where the other just has two.   Please look at all the pictures to evaluate the condition for yourself. You are bidding on what is shown in the pictures.   I am sure they can be brought back to life but they would also make great display pieces for that retired lineman or tree climber.   If anyone has any addition information on this item please email it to me so I can post it for everyone to see.   This is a no reserve auction and will go to the highest bidder!
