1880 A pair of simple ladies skates. These skates have the same look as the ones in figure 2 but the design of the neck and the hook is quite different (details 1b and 2a). It is unclear whether these differences indicate that these skates were made in different regions. Manufacturer: unknown Mark: none Technical data: total length: 31 cm; height over ice: 3 cm; platforms: 25 long, 5.5 cm wide; runner blades: 12 mm tall, 2.5 mm thick; weight: 190 g |
