Maine 4 old sled
« on: September 25, 2013, 03:14:42 pm »
Ok...so I'm helping my dad and uncle take care of my grandfathers estate.  So any help identifying or putting a price on the items I'm listing would be very helpful.  Also where to sell them would be helpful.
Thanks, Ethan

Wow, this is a small one!  We have the real old Flexible Flyer, Royal Racer and American Racer sleds, toboggans.

Really?  I thought adults had all the fun?  :P 

All of ours are from my better half's family cabin in California (where it snows) from when he was a kid and would accommodate 2 kids sitting up or 1 lying down.  Making one of ours into a glass top coffee table!  If I had one that small I would also make a side table!  :)

Well, my husband can account for that. I think HE has just as much fun sledding as my son.  :D

As for the sled, not sure how much it's worth. Looks older than the Flexible flyers that I see around a lot. I know those can go for around $50-70 around here, depending on condition. We picked a really nice one up for $30. It wasn't Flexible Flyer brand, but it has a really nice original paint job and name on it. (can't recall what it was called now......)
