Another garage sale find today at the same place where the antique phone came from, antique wood and brass ice racing skates from around 1902. It was a great day picking, I paid a buck for these skates. Just before that I bought a pack of gum for $1.36 at the gas station.

Great skates, but they sure look dangerous!!!
