Avalanche Klister Wax was one of the Klister Waxes in the 1950's. It was a soft wax that the skiers applied to climb the slopes, if they did not have seal skins. When they got to the top, they would scrape it off and use another wax for the downhill run, probably with graphite in it. The directions also say that it should be applied thin, 'for gliding on wet, crusty snow.' When you open the container, you smell the pine tar that for some may bring back memories of the old days, where you waxed the old boards before ski touring or climbing the slopes. Original waxes from the 1950's.

The Fall Line Touring Ski Wax Kit was made by F. H. Wiessner Company in Burlington, Vermont. All of the directions are in multiple languages indicating its global use. The front of the kit advertises that the Fall Line wax was the official supplier for the US Ski Team and the Canadian Nordic Ski Team. This was a wonderful kit for any touring pack of the 1960's and 1970's. Everything that you need for any condition with complete directions about what wax to use for each type of snow is included in the kit. Original waxes from the 1960's and 1970’s.

A revolutionary ski binding in its day (late 1970s, early 1980s), this is approximately a 3rd generation Ramer, circa 1980. Sold as collector's item or for spare parts, not recommended for use as a ski binding. Also includes misc. items not pictured, such as screws and retention straps. It's getting hard to find these complete bindings with the heel clamp unit.

These ski clamps were "A Necessity for Every Pair of Skis," as the box clearly states. The box also states: ALWAYS USE SKI-CLAMPS WHEN SKIS ARE NOT IN USE. The directions are: 1. Tighten bottom clamp (of course the bottoms of both skis are inside the clamps.) 2. Place Wood Center Block between skis under bindings. 3. Tighten top clamp (given that the tips of the skis are inside the clamps). For many decades this is the way that skiers kept their skis from losing the camber. This product became obsolete in the mid 1960's, when the metal, fiber glass and wood composite skis became the norm. The new skis did not need to be clamped or tension held in the tips. Original ski clamps in their boxes. The conditions of some boxes vary, but all are in good condition. The block of wood for the middle of the skis is included in each box and is not shown in the photo.

"FITS ALL TYPES OF SKI TIPS" - or so the box claims. This Ski Press & Spreader Set was popular from the 1940's until the mid 1960's when the metal, fiber glass and wood composite skis became the norm. The new skis did not need to be clamped or tension held in the tips, which made this product obsolete. Naturally avid skiers would want their wooden skis kept mint condition throughout all of the years of use. So it was important to have this product that held both the camber and the splay in the ski tips. This was especially true for those owning Norwegian skis (pointed tip skis), as the splay was a crucial part of the ski. The directions for this set are quite complex for ski clamps. Original 1940’s ski clamps in their boxes. The conditions of some boxes vary, but all are in good condition.

Bousquet's Famous Ski Tow Gripper was made in Pittsfield, MA by its inventor C. J. Bousquet. He also owned, operated and developed the Bousquet Ski Grounds in Pittsfield, MA. The box reports that this product has been "Tested By Thousands Since 1939". As the original advertisement for this product stated, "A New Idea" - "Oh Boy! Now Its All Play." "Rest While You Ride. Bousquet's New Ski Tow Gripper Pulls From the Belt! Makes Riding the Rope Tow a Pleasure." These are new, never been used, and packaged in their original boxes. The boxes conditions vary some, but all are in good condition.

Skimont ski wax was a Universal wax used by skiers in the 1950's. The Dee-Bee Importing Company produced it in Portland, Oregon. The directions for use are interesting: "For cold snow, Skimont must be applied thin as vapor. For wet snow, Skimont has to be spread on sparingly as well. In both case spread on evenly and rub well with cork. For sliding, polish well. It is advisable to use a little paraffin on the Skimont, when sliding on an dry, cold snow. Original waxes from the 1950's.

Stein Eriksen green slalom wax was a global hit and the directions are in a few languages. Probably because of Stein's popularity, it was fashionable to use his wax. This wax is for 'snow conditions below the freezing point.' Unlike other waxes, this wax can be put on with a waxing iron, whereas Victor Sohm's wax specifies 'No Heat'. Stein's wax can also be applied with a waxing cork or by hand on the slopes. Original waxes from the 1950's.

This Victor Sohm wax was called Gold Klister, a popular 1950's ski wax. Manufactured and distributed in the USA and Canada by Otto Eugen Schniebs Co. from Lake Placid, NY. The directions claim it as a "Running and climbing wax for wet snow. Distribute thick and rough over entire sole. Apply on top of Red. Against balling, rub over with paraffin. Gold Klister may also be used with Blue or Orange waxes for varying snow conditions. Do Not Use Heat!" Original waxes from the 1950's.
