Hey youn's: I've got the same wooden sled I grew up on, intact, probably 35+ years old, just cleaned the wood and sanded the steel rails. We've got some good snow/ice coming down, should set up good overnite. Manufactured by Standard Novelty Works in Duncammon PA, it's my beloved Cyclone GT. #550. Faster than any Flexible Flyer... Those who know antiques: Is this sled collectible? It's a moot point about the $$$, I'm hoping to sled with it given the chance tomorrow. After cleaning it and sanding the rails, it looks as good as ever. YEEEEHAAAA!!! |

When I was 12 living in East Tennessee it snowed. Next day sun melted the snow a little, then it froze. WOOO HOOOO head first on a flexible flyer coming down an iced over mountain road. Just ride it! |

Is it collectable? Yes. Is it valuable? Well, if you don't have it for sale then it is priceless. Enjoy the ride, make it fly. |

I suggest spraying on some of Clark W. Griswold's new vegetable-based super lubricant. It worked out OK for him. |
