Sleds

Vintage Sleds
and Miniature Sleds
From the collections of
David Thomas

 Fairfield, Pennsylvania

 

 

The vintage sleds that are on display from the collections of David Thomas date from the 1850’s to the 1940’s.  Some of them are handmade and others are manufactured. 

Enjoy the nostalgic ride – the memories of biting cold wind rushing by your face with snow crystals blowing in your eyes, wet mittens and cold fingers, trudging back up the hill just so you could do it all over again.
