Featured in this lot is a great pair of 10th Mountain Division Trail Snowshoes made in 1943. These are marked and made by the A & FH Company of Wallingford, Vermont U.S.A., (Abercrombie and Fitch Holding) one of four companies that were producing snowshoes for the war. They are also stamped with dates of c.1943 and US. During the war and training many snowshoes were simply tossed into a pile for the supply sergeant to put away. Usually this meant that pairs were not matched back with their original numbers. This pair has matching numbers reading "8258" on the bottom of each snowshoe, along with "10x58 1943". Towards the middle of each snowshoe you can see the makers mark reading " AF H CO. Wallingford VT US". These snow shoes are missing their leather straps, but are in overall very good condition with clean, unbroken rawhide and ashwood. The snowshoes measure 58" L x 10" W.
