This vintage wooden sledge with metal runners was handmade for my mother in London during the 1940s. My brother and I used it in the 1970s, but now we need to pass it onto someone new.

The front slat has been replaced with age-appropriate wood, and a new rope has been added. All the wood has been oiled for a protected finish.

With its charming vintage appeal, this sledge is perfect for collectors or anyone who appreciates traditional craftsmanship. It's a fun item and would make a delightful shop decoration if you don't want to try it on the slopes.

This is a used item in good condition.

Collection only from Watford, Herts.
