A handsome example of early American snowshoes with the leather bindings. Thick raw hide lacing and stout frames combine to make a very strong and sturdy snowshoe.  A great set of snowshoes for trekking through the snow or as a decorative piece for your wall. Note: wrapped repair on the tip of “left” snowshoes was well done with rawhide lacing.
