Automobile skate (roller skate

[Hans Brinker]

Hi, I am Hans Brinkel from the Netherlands/Europe. not sure or this mesage is in the right topic? I recently bought a pair of antique roller skates or roller skis with 2 wheels. (My guess it is made between 1890-1920 period) It is marked Automobile skate , extension 9 to 12 inch, Pat apld for. Could it be possible that his is made by the C.C.M. company? I see advertisements for ice skates, but not roller skates so far.(besides modern ones) Please see attached files. Already many thanks for your respons, Regards, Hans (p.s i do also have a pair made by automobile cycle skate/ pat'd oct 1905/JOHN JAY YOUNG/New York, USA)

Hi Hans,

I know nothing about these, but the link is to a book showing the CCM Automobile skate (1906), which was apparently a standard ice skate:

Lace Up

A charmingly illustrated history of the humble skate and its place in Canadian cultural identity.Throughout our 150-year history, and even longer, people have braved the treacherous Canadian winters and taken to the ice for the purposes of transportation, competition, exercise, and just plain...

I checked Patents for the Canada Cycle & Motor Company, there are 47 recorded, none like this (bicycles and traditional skates only), though Pat. Applied for, doesn't necessarily mean Patent granted, and a provisional patent wouldn't be published if not granted.

A couple of interesting timelines I came across whilst looking:

Wow, those are so neat! They remind me of the grass skis that I have which were made in the 70s.

Hi, Sorry, I should have checked.

It's a Google book.

The book is : "Lace Up: A History of Skates in Canada" By Jean-Marie Leduc, Sean Graham.

The search term was "Automobile Skate". I can't take a screen shot, sadly, as there is a limit to the number of times you can view the book on Google.

Best Regards,

Adrian
