Sverre Stenersen was a Norwegian Olympic cross-country skier – winning a Gold Medal at the 1956 Winter Olympics and another at the 1954 World Championships.

Stenersen retired from ski-racing around 1960 to run a wee sports shop in his home town of Malselv, we suspect the poles we have here in the collection are from that era. They are fairly classic 1950/60s cane poles which Stenersen most likely sold in his shop along with his personalised sticker – see pic above.
