Skis & poles
Then there are skis and poles. These ones look like they date from 1983. The plastic bails on the poles are aged and brittle and the plastic sole that holds the heel piece is hard and brittle: both these parts did not age well and likely are broken on surviving examples. The Stock Number on the skis is 8465-21-886-9311, probably made by KKW Sport.

The NSN is from the 1988 time period.
Ooops, I meant late 70s. Pretty bad when I start mixing up my decades. In fact, when I look up the number, it shows an assignment date of 1981. Last edited by rob love; 04-12-19 at 18:26.

An opportunity presented itself a couple of weeks ago but I was unable to say anything at the time owing to Operation St. Nick OPSEC restrictions. Needless to say that restriction is now over and I can reveal what Santa left me. He did an awful job of wrapping it, it was casually left n the bed of the truck, but hey ho its home.
A somewhat dated version, 1970 if my eyes don't deceive me, but looks like every other toboggan I have seen except that the painted markings are new to me. This was quite a score as far as I am concerned, in as much as it is complete and not damaged, just heavily used. As a welder I love the symmetry of the tig welds down the runner troughs on the underside. I am not sure exactly what the runners themselves are made from, I may have some new ones coming, we will see. As far as the cover goes, I have a new one on the shelf but will wait a while before I fit that as this one is still usable as is. The two harnesses and their ropes are old and the rope needs replacing if I can find some of the same material for those. The handle is not bent, seen many that were. In general I am very happy to have acquired this. Thank you Santa.

Arctic Candles
I don't have the holder, but I do own a couple of nice examples of the Arctic Candle.
