    Vintage Canadian "ABEL PELLETIER" Bear Paw Snowshoes (Nr.7)

    These well used pair of "Bear Paw" vintage snowshoes were made by a Mme. Abel Pelletier et fils, in St. Aubert Que. All the webbing is intact as well as the leather bindings which need a bit of cleaning. The use of bear paw snowshoes like these can be traced back to eastern and northern Canadian Indian people. The Bear Paw model is the second most well-known snowshoe shape. It originated among the Indian peoples of eastern Canada and from the Canadian Far North, particularly from the Innu people (Montagnais). It is mostly used for hunting, trapping, and long-distance hikes in dense forests. If you are looking for a fine pair of antique snowshoes to enhance your chalet decoration, these would look great!
