These Northland skis (Laconia, NH) are in excellent condition featuring their original adjustable Goodwin bindings.  They have a wonderful golden honey patina.  It seems that our photography can never seem to capture the full luminescence of the years of history.  A great set for the wall.  

Northland Ski Manufacturing Company was founded as the C. A. Lund Company in Hastings, Minnesota by Norwegian-born Christian A. Lund back in 1911. Skis, Poles, Boots, Bindings, Toboggans, and Snowshoes were manufactured at Hastings, Minnesota, St. Paul and in Laconia, New Hampshire. By the mid 1920’s and on into the 1930s, Northland was the nation’s largest producer of Winter Sporting equipment.
