Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/31/2022
Produced in England in the late-19th century and featuring some of the finest shaped blades we have ever seen, we offer a high quality pair of “Hibernia” wooden-base ice skates by W. Marples & Sons. 13” in length and sporting blond wooden bases with elegant steel blades – shaped like runners, the model is stamped into each blade along with the manufacturer and “Makers Sheffield”, with all of the original leather strapping and hardware intact – practically unheard of for the period. The antique skates exhibit just light wear and display beautifully, with the steel blades remaining especially clean. Please note that each antique skate lot in our current auction hails from an advanced 19th century skate collection, with this the second offering from the vast and comprehensive grouping.
