Positives:
The wood frames are intact and appear solid overall. The pair presents well with a warm honey-toned finish and retains its original woven/rawhide-style lacing for a strong rustic look.
Issues / Wear:
Noticeable age and use wear throughout. There are surface scuffs, darker marks, and finish wear along the wood, especially on the handles and edges. The woven lacing shows age-related discoloration and uneven tone, with some areas appearing darker, heavier, or more brittle than others. General wear is visible across both snowshoes consistent with vintage decorative use.structural breaks visible in the photos; best suited for display rather than functional use
Miniature/salesman sample snowshoes are a fun slice of winter sporting history—perfect for collectors who love authentic materials and cabin nostalgia.
Want to lean into that cozy “library-by-the-fire” feeling? These bring instant warmth to a shelf.

Disclaimer
All items are vintage and may show signs of age, wear, or use consistent with their history. Photos show the exact condition of each piece—please review them carefully, as they are part of the description.
While I do my best to capture colors accurately, your monitor or device screen may display colors slightly differently from the actual item.
Please Note:
These pieces come from estate collections and have been surface cleaned. You may wish to perform additional cleaning depending on your preference.
Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.
Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.
With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.
Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
