C. 1930's Hickory & Rawhide Lund Snowshoes
Included in this lot we have a pair of Lund hickory and rawhide snowshoes originating from 1930's. Lund Ski Manufacturing Company, in Hastings, MN, was owned by Norwegian born Christian A. Lund; it was a division of Northland Ski Manufacturing Company in Saint Paul, MN. Lund made snowshoes, skis, hockey sticks and toboggans in Hastings from 1927-1945. A massive fire destroyed the Hastings plant in 1945 and Lund operations were moved 20 miles away to an existing building in St. Paul. The snowshoes show a tag across the top reading "Made By C.A. Lund Co. Lund Hastings, Minn., USA". The pieces show good condition overall with some wear due to age. The shoes measure 48 1/2" long by 14" wide.
