$ 183.3

Availability: 100 in stock
  • Brand: Flexible Flyer
  • Condition: Overall great condition esp for being @100 years old. Wood slats, braces& foot rests are all tight& none are broken. Sled is very tight compared to most this age. Only downside is the graphics are quite faded/worn. No cleaning products were used so you might be able to get the graphics to clean up& be more visible. This looks to be a #5 not a later model 5C. These were one of the first steerable sleds

    Description

    Sled HIstory found at the Sledhill website:
    "This is one of the first steerable sleds by Flexible Flyer, made before 1900.  Note that the center logo is a flower picture that was replaced by the familiar eagle around 1900.  The bottom carries the label "Flexible Flyer No 5" over the word "Patented."
    Of further note is the absence of the goose neck at the front of the runner where it attaches to the bumper.  The side rails are wood to the front bumper, which is also wood. The bolts through the steering are with nuts rather than with cotter pins, although the footrests are identical to those seen on sleds many decades later.
    The remaining attachments are rivets with additional rivets through the bumper at the ends to prevent splitting."
