Description: Historic Hughes Drillbits From America’s Finest Oil Field. This is it. This is the drillbit that made Howard Hughes the wealthiest man on earth at that time. This is the drillbit that drilled through the ice and rock and soil of Alaska’s north slope to harvest our nation’s greatest oil reserves. This is the 4.5 inch Baker Hughes tool, the Tricone, geothermal drillbit that conquered the north slope of Alaska. Back in the day, nobody could own one of these except Hughes production tools. His father invented it— they say if you make a better mouse trap, the world will beat a path to your door – and he held the patent on it. Howard Hughes was a wise man and only leased these bits. If a company brought one back that was broken, no problem. They would get their deposit back. If a company failed to return one, they would be charged tens of thousands of dollars. We were there. Which is how we got access to these incredible pieces of history. These amazing specimens of engineering. We washed the drilling mud off them and preserved them by having them chromed. Each one has manufactures numbers on it corresponding to the Hughes inventory. And now. You have the opportunity to own a “bit“ of history from one of the grandest engineering projects of all time.
