American figure skates
 
Fig.1: Figure skates, 3rd quarter 20th century
Traditional model. The boots 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.
