consist of a solid outside plastic scale and a soft removable inside one.
The skates have been donated by Palmer Lake City, Colorado, USA. Although
they appeared to have lots of the laying in the cellar they did not know how
they came there. It is assumed that this kind of ice skates were for rent at
ice rinks. Manufacturer: SLM, Philadelphia (USA); model Micron.
Though the word 'Canada' is shown in the trademark the skates it is
quite certain they have been made in the USA.
