Here are a few bindings. Cubco, Spademan, Marker and a couple oddball Look.

 

A few LOOK binding variants along side a pair of Kastinger Combi's (my old Tuckerman boots) and Lange XLR's.

 

Rieker Sapporo, 1972

A little Cubco tribute. From an earlier version to a couple of the last (Brute and Elite). Note the AFD's that were way ahead of their time. Back when leather boots ruled the land, the boot plates (seen on the wood pieces) made for a much more consistent interface with the binding.

 

Ever wonder where LOOK's PX Racing came from? Well this mid 80's example should provide the answer! (LOOK 99)

 

How about the ESS alpine touring binding, a licensed LOOK Nevada copy toe piece with their SU-Matic heel.

 

Rosemount boots. This standard black model came out right around 1967. One with adjustable forward lean came along in 1969. The Blue/red version was later, maybe 72ish. It had the adjustable forward lean and a higher back. Fiberglass shell and metal hinged, they were a skiing engineers vision. I always appreciated what they tried to do, this was still the leather boot era!

 

Rieker XLS. The next tier down from the Sapporo. Early 1970's

 

Some 70's plate bindings. Bessor and Gertsch 6D

 

I wanted a pair of those in the worst way back in the day - that raised cuff and extra buckle were so exotic!

 

Geze Top Star, late 60's
Marker ST,late 60's-early 70's

 

This would be my retro Descente "Whacky Jackey " for when I'm feelin silly , use it in high density venues when i want my buddies to find me easily in a crowd . Also have my old fartbag one piecer

 

I found a lunchbox to go with that
P.S. I'd wear it and OWN it. Nice!

 

Heres my retro Zabooooooooy vest

 

Here's "the Queen of the Hop's " 1988 vintage Obermeyer with the nice embroidery i spoke of intheObermeyer thread , her oldest and warmest and favorite jacket , i upgraded her to nre OBEYs and HH ,s and Northface but THIS puppy is STILL her fav ...

 

Klaus would be proud to see his work still around.

 

My wife had two Obermeyer jackets over the years one was a two tone tan and brown that was down fill and very warm. The second was royal blue with matching stretch bib ski pants, OMG they made her look so good. Sorry no photos of that ski outfit.
