JSG ESTATE LIQUIDATION

This lot features a vintage set of Bonna Model 2400 wooden cross-country skis, likely dating from the 1970s, complete with a pair of leather ski boots and a collection of ski poles. Bonna skis were known for their quality craftsmanship and were a popular choice for recreational and competitive cross-country skiing during their era. The skis exhibit a classic wood construction with a natural finish, showcasing the grain and traditional design elements of vintage Nordic equipment. The included leather boots appear to be a traditional lace-up style, designed to integrate with the ski bindings, and the assortment of poles includes various lengths and styles, some with bamboo shafts and classic baskets. This ensemble represents a significant piece of skiing history, particularly relevant to the development of cross-country skiing as a popular winter sport. The skis measure approximately 200-210 cm in length, typical for adult cross-country skis of the period. The boots appear to be a men's size, possibly 9-10 US, based on visual estimation. The poles vary in length, generally ranging from 130-150 cm. This set would make an excellent decorative piece for a mountain home or ski lodge, or for a collector of vintage winter sports equipment. The skis show honest wear consistent with age and use, including surface scratches, some fading to the decals, and minor scuffs to the edges. The bindings appear intact but may require inspection for functionality. The leather boots exhibit creasing, scuffs, and some drying of the leather, with laces present but potentially brittle. The ski poles show varying degrees of wear, including scuffs, scratches, and some deterioration of the grips and baskets. Overall condition is good for display, but functionality for active use would require professional assessment and likely restoration.
