Back in the late 50's, early 60's, my great uncle worked at 'Joe the Motorist's Friend' and wanted to get us girls (there 5 girls in the famliy, no boys) sleds for Christmas. He got us these triangular red metal ones, I think called 'Rockets'. We played hard with those things - we had great hills and snows back then! When we had public sale a couple years ago on the farm after our parents passed, we found those sleds. Heavy! We couldn't imagine we lugged those things around so much. And probably they wouldn't be allowed nowadays because someone could hurt themselves. Our other uncle got us an aluminum tobaggan - I don't know what happened to that one - four of us could fit on there. The youngest was proably too young to be out with us!
