Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Winter 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/28/2023
Ingenious in their construction, designed to fold flat for easy convenience, and advertised as having “all the virtues of the old style skates, plus compactness”, we offer an especially rare pair of early-1990s “Folding Pocket Skates” manufactured by Boston’s Martin Skate Co. 12 ½” in length and patented in 1905, the solid steel skates sport engraved Martin company logos over the expansion extension clasps along with patent dates, with the size of “10 ½” listed as well as the model, “No 30”. In remarkable original condition and possibly never used, the steel remains clean throughout with just small hints of surface wear. The original brown canvas “wallet” to transport/store the skates is a bit tattered, but displays well. 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.
