Sled made from four wooden slats and six cross-braces
Context
The toboggan was purchased from an antique dealer at the Brimfield Antique market from a dealer who was amazed to have found it in a barn in central Vermont. It is one of the few native toboggans from south of the St. Lawrence River. It is definitely native made and shows the distinctive lashing holes that define the ethnic style. These were traditionally used to bring back the butchered body of a moose to the camp or village.
