    I found this item, described as a sled, hanging on the wall at my local architectural salvage place. They knew very little about it and I'm wondering if anyone has seen one like it and would know more about it. With the single deep runner and steering rudder it seems it would cut too deep to be any good in snow. 20200131_141038-2016x954.jpg 20200214_081529.jpg 20200214_081516.jpg

    Is that an ice racing sledge?

    I thought about that but the only ones I found had two parallel runners like a snow sled. Another friend of mine suggested it may have been towed behind a boat.

    I also think ice, rather than snow.
