What is this?
« on: March 19, 2014, 21:11:00 »
I got a couple of this in an eskimo lot I got off eBay a while back. 
Any one know what it is?

(pic borrowed from eBay - thanks if it is yours)

It's a part that enables klickys to carry the skis and poles.. Those family snow fun sets had them, for sure... as the ancient winter sports.

The eskimos don't, but Patrick's - I mean the Scott Institute - might... At least the tent set comes with skis, though I don't recall those there...

Thank you!!!

I would have NEVER figure that out. 

Oh, and I probably should of mentioned that it was a lot with eskimos AND some old polar researcher types.

And here are several in use (I thought I had a pic, but had to look for it)



They can be carried by klickys or put in that grid thing that goes on top of a car :)

Thanks Pippa and Tahra. I was thinking of posting a picture of that very same part. I thought it was some sort of a cookie cutter! And thanks for showing it in action, Tahra. :clap:

I have the 3463 Polar Explorers set with the tent and I'm almost certain it came with that set.  I seem to remember at the time that I wasn't sure what it was for.  :-[

I can see it on the box pictures of three sets:
Sets with handle for carrying skis and poles, but no mention on set inventories (and no part number).
More recent 'Polar' sets don't have it- set 3194 doesn't have it, but really needs it!

Good eye!

It does seem to be a useful little piece (now that I know what it does) I'm suprised they don't still put it in too.
