All Things Free Heel (three pin to cable throw)

[Joal]

These are my father's skis, brought over from Norway when we emigrated to Canada. The skis would be from late 40s. There is a trace of a decal but do not know the brand.They are 220s. Bindings are Gresvig Kandahar made in Norway.

Joal, those look very similar to this pair of Tuckerman branded skis I have marking the entrance to the living museum. These are also from the 40's timeline and definitely imported to the US.

 

[Joal]

@Bill Talbot I think just about every ski maker made some sort of a ridge-top. The Tuckerman looks like a round ridge-top, my father's are a flat ridge-top. Ski Meister on the right are round and the Kneissl on the left are much more subtle almost more like a modern THE SKI. The Kneissl and my father's have a plastic inlay on the top.

Nice varnish on the Kneissls.

Nice skis. I have a pair of flat C. A. Lund skis from the 1940s with Winoco bindings that look similar to your father's skis. They were made in Lund's North St. Paul, MN facility for the 10th Army division I think. White paint was stripped from the skis and they were varnished.

They are in very rough shape but they are 220s after all.

Oh, woops, I wasn't trying to be snarky - I meant the skis on the right in your photo. The other left

 

[crgildart]

Laminated skis with locked heel bindings and metal edges are just a fad..

No snark noticed.

Some that I have collected over the years-

 

[Joal]

Variety of skinny skis. 195 Madshus Birke Beiner, 215 Eggen, 195 Asne, 200 Northmark VI, 205 Edsbyns. All made in Norway except Edsbyns, Sweden. Not being much of a wax guy, xcountry or downhill, I used a stepped-base Madshus for my occasional outings, no less of a workout.

I'll take the 215 Eggens.

I am too cheap.

Jeg snakker ikke Norsk. Husker du?

 

[Uncle-A]

I was cleaning out my junk and found these and the best fit was this thread. I have not idea were they came from or what bindings they are part of, they are free to anyone that wants them other wise in the dumpster they go.

 

[cantunamunch]

Heh, and they are unstretched too
