1950's "Fridtjof Nansen" Sled

1950's "Fridtjof Nansen" Sled

This is a very unique sled from the 1950's with a solid steering wheel and a brake. The sled was inspired by and marked "Fridtjof Nansen" (faintly visible) who was a Norwegian explorer, scientist, diplomat, humanitarian, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. This was the first steering wheel toboggan with cable steering, and Nansen himself gave permission for manufacturer K. K. Lien & Co Plogfabrikk on Tromøya to use the name.

The sled is in very good condition & mechanically sound - nothing missing or broken. The patina is very nice and shows only minor signs of wear. The hand brake lever operates both the front & rear braking system. The metal runners and other metal parts are in amazing shape with only a few specks of rust.
