Lot 5:
Two Salesman Sample or Store Display Ice Skates
Description
C-21625
Two left foot, non-functional twentieth-century store display or salesman’s sample ice skates featuring leather boots mounted on carved hardwood soles with steel blades. The boots retain their original leather uppers, fabric laces, and metal eyelets, while the steel blades feature distinctive crescent cutouts characteristic of pre-World War II skate designs.
Shows moderate age-related wear throughout including scuffs, creasing, finish wear, and scattered abrasions to the leather uppers. Hardwood soles exhibit expected wear, scratches, and age-related patina. Steel blades show oxidation, light surface corrosion, and finish wear consistent with age. Laces appear to be later replacements. Both skates remain structurally sound.
