Here you have an increasingly hard to find pair of 1950's (restored) "HÖHNBERG" children skis (with "TORNADO" bindings) & bamboo poles. They have been carefully restored to the smallest detail. The leather pole grips and webbing on the baskets are original and in great shape. The 110 cm bamboo poles look almost new with hardly any signs of wear on the hand grips. Part of the tail on one ski has been chipped off, but nothing major. All in all, a beautiful pair of restored skis & poles which will look great on the wall of your home or chalet.

These are a rare pair of vintage 1950's skis made by "PGH GESCHWENDA" in Thüringer Wald, Germany. "SCHICHTEN" meaning layered wood were a breakthrough in strengthening wooden skis. They were manufactured without metal edges and equiped with "TORNADO" bindings. The 115 cm metal poles are in good condition with plastic hand grips/leather hand straps and alu/plastic baskets. These vintage pair of skis will without doubt, add some colour to your chalet.

These 1940's Swiss skis with Kandahar bindings were put to good use in their day and were probably used as working/transport skis. One tip suffered a crack and was then reinforced with an alu ski tip which the previous owner decided to keep attached to the tip rather than repair it. It was quite common for wooden ski tips to break, and serious skiers always had an emergency tip in their rucksack. The bindings are complete with the original leather toe straps and the 1950's alu poles are in decent shape & complete besides the stitching on one hand grip which has come apart. The edges are rusty, and two edge pieces have loosened from the base. These vintage skis were obviously put to good use through some rough ski terrain. The wear & tear on these tells you a lot about their history.

These are another really fine pair of vintage 1950's children skis & bamboo poles. The top of the skis have been restored and look very clean. They are equipped with  "Tornado" bindings. The bamboo poles have leather grips & hand straps and are in excellent condition. These skis were made without edges. Enhance the decor in your chalet/home childrens bedroom with these beautiful skis & poles or any other room for that matter.

Beautifully restored, these complete 1930's vintage Swiss Staub "ALPINA" skis are an exceedingly rare find. The restored bindings were manufactured by Attenhofer and are the very famous "Alpina" model. The toe straps are the original ones & the heel straps are in excellent condition with brass rivets. Richard Staub started making skis in the early 1900's in Wetzikon (Zurich) and sold over 2800 pairs of skis and other "Staub" mountain sport articles to 38 sport shops. Besides the "ALPINA" model, other models included "ELITE", "TODI" & “SPECIAL”.  

The poles are 125 cm in length and feature leather hand grips/straps in great condition. These are rarely seen fitted on wooden ski poles of this age. The double rattan baskets have been replaced with newer ones.

These are a rare pair of historical Canadian ca. 1930's skis (fully restored) from Peterborough, Ont. Canada. As they show evidence of forged toe bindings which went through the ski bases, they were most likely made in the late 1920’s early 1930’s. The bindings were later upgraded to a patented model developed by Thorleif Haug of Norway and best known for his 3 ski victories at the inaugural 1924 winter Olympics at Chamonix, France.

These 205 cm skis have been completely restored with great care and attention to the smallest details (new copper rivets for attaching the leather binding straps on two pieces). The bamboo poles with double rattan basket rings are in superb condition! 135 cm in length and all metal parts have been cleaned and polished.

These fine antique and very scarce children skis were made by the "Gebrüder Hammer" (Hammer brothers) in Bad Mergentheim, Germany in the late 1930's -early 1940's. This specific model is called "JUGEND" (Youth). They are in fine shape and the logo is clearly visible. The 75 cm bamboo poles are in very good condition with their original hand straps and baskets - all intact and complete. The Hammer brothers started manufacturing skis in 1910 and in 1945 their brand became Erbacher Skis.

These are an extremely rare pair of 1920's (restored) children "Nipple tip" skis & bamboo poles. Back in the 20's, the hand forged toe bindings were installed through the skis.

The poles are from the 1940's and their leather grips and the leather webbing on the baskets are original and in very  good condition with all the stitching intact.

After countless hours of restauration work, our team named this unique two-person 1940’s bobsled the "Blue Rocket". The sled is in perfect condition with nothing missing or broken and all the parts have been restored.
