Provenance:
It’s always a bit tricky to date these wee sets of ski poles so they could be as early as the 1930s or as late as the 1950s though we suspect the latter. Though ‘aged’ they don’t seem to have been used an awful lot. No maker’s name, but look to be manufactured rather than homemade. Another nice little pair of sticks/poles passed on by the Scottish Ski Club.
