Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction - June 2009
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/16/2009
Ancient wood strap-on ice skates from the 19th century feature slightly-curled blade tips. Well before the advent of the internet and computer gaming, it was quite common for the entire family to gather with the neighbors at the local frozen pond or river to skate an afternoon away. These strap-on affairs quickly attached to any shoe or boot and off you sailed across the ice! These two pair stretch out to a full fifteen inches in length on one set and eighteen inches for the second pair. Both sets have been preserved in very good to excellent condition with some oxidization at the blades. Strap 'em on!
