COMET SNOW SLED VINTAGE METAL RAIL, BACK & WOOD RACING SLEIGH - CIRCA 1940 - RARE, UNIQUE

Profile picture for user Suncatcher2
By Suncatcher2, 17 February, 2011
Description

This sled is in excellent shape and the paint is completely intact. My grandfather relayed many memories of the races between his friends down the hills of Racine here in Wisconsin during the long winters. He showed me how it was designed to steer with your feet when sitting up or with the rope tied to it correctly you can utilize it to steer also. Lying down steering is easy. He said it was about the fastest, easiest to steer and most coveted sled around at the time. It is a gem.
