SEE BELOW FOR SHIPPING INFO:Absolutely beautiful Vintage Black Wooden Snow Skis With Boots. Boots have wooden sole, bear clamp binding and attached leather straps. Made by Paris Manufacturing Co in Maine, USA.
Excellent used condition for their age! These boots and skis are from the early 1940s. Great decor and conversation piece in your collection or ski lodge. These are so impressive in person!
Finnish immigrants inspired the Paris Manufacturing Company to enter the ski business in 1900. At the time Paris was a large woodworking firm that specialized in sleds and other children's toys, and skis were a natural extension of their core business.
Paris Manufacturing Co. (the forerunner to Paricon) supplied the sledges for both the Admiral Peary Expedition to the North Pole and a follow-up expedition by Donald MacMillan in 1914.
SHIPPING INFO: This will be shipped in 2 separate boxes. I estimated shipping via USPS Ground if traveling from East Coast to West Coast. Box 1 of skis with oversize box will be approx.13 lbs. 76"x7"x5.5" (approx. ) Box 2 of the boots with box will be approximately 5 lbs. 12"x13"x5" (). If you supply me with your zipcode, I can estimate a shipping cost & adjust the shipping charge accordingly.
Please let me know if have any questions or need additional pictures. Thanks!
