For your consideration is this pair of C.A. Lund hickory and rawhide Huron style snowshoes. Lund Ski Manufacturing Company, in Hastings, MN, was owned by Norwegian born Christian A. Lund; it was a division of Northland Ski Manufacturing Company in Saint Paul, MN. Lund made snowshoes, skis, hockey sticks and toboggans in Hastings from 1927-1945. A massive fire destroyed the Hastings plant in 1945 and Lund operations were moved 20 miles away to an existing building in St. Paul. The snow shoes are in very good shape with the original leather bindings. There are remnants of the Lund stickers on each snow shoe. "Guaranteed not to sag" is burnished into the wood as is the size: 14 x 48 [inches].
