    My Sister recently received a huge lot of mostly nautical antiques, and these were in there. The only info I can find was that they are water skis, but I would really love to know around what year they are from. I had zero luck looking at past Lund logos. Anyone able to help me with info would be much appreciated!

      Great skis. Because I grew up w wood skis, I'd say these are from the 60's, maybe 70's.

      this never happens..... I saw the patent # on the skis, did a patent # lookup. Bingo. January 23rd, 1951. Patented by Carl Lund.

      Interesting Fact;
      Water skiing was invented in 1922 when Ralph Samuelson used a pair of boards as skis and a clothesline as a towrope on Lake Pepin in Lake City, Minnesota.
      I know because I was just there a few weeks ago for their Water Ski Days (and my clothesline is missing).
