These antique, Bentley Wilson snowshoes are traditional wood snowshoes crafted in Camden New York United States during the mid-20th century. With the size of 58 x 10“, these vintage snowshoes feature a classic Athabaskan style in a rich brown color. The original Bentley Wilson brand adds to the Collectibles appeal, making them a unique and nostalgic addition to any decorative display. Made with quality materials and attention to detail, the snowshoes capture the charming craftsmanship of a big bygone era. No bindings and damage to a portion of one shoe.
These were in very long term storage and I’ve only dry wiped a bit. I’m certain that a light wet cleaning will reveal the magnificent build quality further. The frames are in excellent condition (ash wood I believe ) and the lacings of moose, deer, caribou and later cowhide can easily be repaired with rawhide available online.
Being of such a large size they will command attention when mounted in just about any environment. Not easily found and certainly not at the price requested. Thank you for looking.
