Condition Grade: Good
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
