Mid-Century Davos Wooden Sledge by Germina (switzerland) 1960s

Davos Wooden Sledge

Manufactured by Germina, Switzerland, circa 1960

A vintage Davos wooden sledge manufactured by Germina Davos, dating to around 1960. Produced in Davos, Switzerland, Germina was known for making robust, well-designed winter sports equipment, intended for serious alpine use rather than decoration.

This classic Davos form is defined by its upright stance, slatted wooden seat and elegantly curved runners. This example retains its original metal runners and shows the honest wear you would expect from a piece that has been properly used.
