Vintage Ski Waxes & Clamps

These ski clamps were widely used back in the day to sore your wood skis for the summer. These are original 1940's ski clamps in their boxes.  The conditions of some boxes vary, but all are in good condition.

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.
