140cm Liljedahl Metal Cross-Country Ski Poles - Early 1970s - Orange-Blue ColoursBeautiful poles orange painted metal with blue accents. Real early 70s colours! Leather handles and straps, and blue and white ring baskets. These poles would look great on display, or better, out on the trails! Liljedahl was based in Lillehammer, Norway. Swix, and its various parent companies, were of Swedish origin. Swix' purchase of Liljedahl in 1974 was used as as a way to expand its product line and establish a Norway headquartered company.

RARE blue baskets - Liljedahl aluminum racing poles from the early 1970s
