[QUOTE="shooter, post: 212799, member: 4063"]My parents have had this laying around for about 20 years now. They purchased if from someone who had acquired it from an estate cleaning. Anyway, here are some pictures.

The skis are made of wood, and wrapped in steel, so I doubt this was ever meant to be used as an actual sleigh. I included the gallon jug in the first picture as a size reference. There are absolutely no dates, signatures or other identifying marks than I can find. I have no idea if it is valuable or even old, but it sure is cool. If anyone knows anything about this, or has seen something similar it would be awesome. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
