I can't date your sleds but I'm guessing late forties. My favorite memories of sledding was when there was a hard crust on the snow, usually in Feb or March when the sun was getting a little higher in the sky. We'd have to get out there with the sleds fairly early in the morning before the crust started to soften. We have plenty of fields with long hills and you could get going extremely fast. Sometimes we would sit up and sometimes we'd lie down. I don't have any of the sleds from my youth but I have collected a few over the years. I bought the two big sleds in the pictures about 30 years ago for $25 apiece. They are in excellent shape and I figured I got a good deal. My late son and I took those big ones out about 10 years ago when there was a hard crust....He was in his forties and I in my sixties but we acted like a couple of kids....we went like the "hammers of Hades". It was great fun!
They are not only longer but they are about 2" higher and much wider than the normal Flexible Flyer. I don't remember seeing these big ones when I was a kid.
