    Beautiful sled! Awesome restoration. Many made it out here to the Northeast, but quite a few never make it past the barn. Watching an old post and beam barn's roof slowly collapsing on two vintage survivors on our road, that can't be bought. Same for cars, tractors, and antiques. Snow gets heavy out here. Glad to see all the effort applied for a great charity. Hats off, to those involved and especially the previous owner. Sleds been loved, despite the dust! :)
