Are you looking to buy and re sell, or to use it?

I have a brand new one, never used in a case that I picked up at a garage sale. How do I tell the vintage?

I have 70's vintage 68" "Connolly Hook". It looks like a high end coffee table with a boot :yes: . I have no idea on the value but I used it when I was younger and thiner, it was a great ski at the time.

I've got a 67" Connolly Hook as well, got it for my 13th birthday in 1976, brand new and man was I excited. Needless to say it is not for sale, but will be refinished and look just right on my restored (whenever that happens) '67 Bertram.

Oh my, what a fine piece of craftsmanship. Other than the pine workbench/cabinets, of course.

Does anyone else mourn the end of fine craftsmanship in recreational products today? The Chinese can never duplicate such a classic ski.
