Good point Rob. I mis-interpreted what may be a part number (DND 83) for a contract date. Checked my Canadian microfiche from 1985 and it does not go this high in part numbers.

An opportunity presented itself a couple of weeks ago but I was unable to say anything at the time owing to Operation St. Nick OPSEC restrictions. Needless to say that restriction is now over and I can reveal what Santa left me. He did an awful job of wrapping it, it was casually left n the bed of the truck, but hey ho its home.

A somewhat dated version, 1970 if my eyes don't deceive me, but looks like every other toboggan I have seen except that the painted markings are new to me.

This was quite a score as far as I am concerned, in as much as it is complete and not damaged, just heavily used. As a welder I love the symmetry of the tig welds down the runner troughs on the underside. I am not sure exactly what the runners themselves are made from, I may have some new ones coming, we will see.

As far as the cover goes, I have a new one on the shelf but will wait a while before I fit that as this one is still usable as is.

The two harnesses and their ropes are old and the rope needs replacing if I can find some of the same material for those. The handle is not bent, seen many that were.

In general I am very happy to have acquired this. Thank you Santa.

The runners are described as "phenolic plastic". I have always considered them as nylon. I used to cut up the old ones to make windshield installation tools for the Jeeps etc.

Default Arctic Candles

I don't have the holder, but I do own a couple of nice examples of the Arctic Candle.

It is with regret that I have to announce I will be going no further with my arctic kit collection. The small toboggan is going back to Eric Booth and the rest of the stuff I have collected is up for grabs. I will be contacting a few of you who have provided items by separate means.

I just have too much stuff going on and I need to focus on vehicles and getting them going and abandon the human powered stuff and make space. I'm still around and walking and taking solid nourishment.

Some items were IES for vehicles and wont go.

If you want to have a conversation about this all do it privately.

Thanks all for the input
