    Description

    These ice skates were purchased for my mother in 1952. She used them regularly until 1958 when she moved to an area where frozen areas of water were less common. For the past 20 years they have been stored in an attic. The leather is dry, the lace hooks are corroded, there is an area of stitching on the back that has come loose, and there is some rust on the blades. They could be used for décor in a lovely vintage display.
    Written on the blade:
    9 2/3 (Difficult to see but I think those are the numbers)
    Union Steel Tempered
