Forged at right angles to the heel of the blade (from the same piece of metal) is a circular hand designed to hold a screw which would extend through the wood into the boot heel. Woods: woods are very crudely carved, especially at arch indentation. There is one slot only at the toe for a leather strap, and the bottom of the heel of the skate has been cut out to accommodate the metal band for the screw. Blades: forged iron runners with a 4.5 cm. high "C"-shaped upturn. May not be a pair.There are no works to discover for this record.
