Fig.1: Ice skates for the Dutch Roll,
around 1930 One of the greatest names for Dutch Roll skates was Hoekstra in the province of Friesland. Here a very elegant pair from this company is shown. The platforms were worked out after the lines of the boots and brass studs were added for better fixation. Also the straps and laces are considered luxurious. The company ceased its activities in 1965 as did many other skate makers. Manufacturer: A.K.
