Children's ice skates (1)

Fig.1: Training skates, c. 1915
The manufacturer promoted these skates in his documentation of 1914 as follows: "These skates are very suitable for little children for learning skating correctly in the living room". The design was awarded a bronze medal at the industrial exhibition in The Hague, Netherlands in 1914.
The platforms of these skates have no grooves for runner blades and thus will not damage the carpet. Nevertheless, they have not been sold very much.
