Beautiful pair of mid 1960s Liljedahl racing poles in tip-top shape. The plastic rings are smaller and lighter than their wicker cousins that would be on a touring pole. These poles have seen light used and still shine from their original finish. Straps and handles in nice condition.
Liljedahl was based in Lillehammer, Norway. Swix, and its various parent companies, were of Swedish origin. Swix' purchase of Liljedahl in 1974 was used as as a way to expand its product line and establish a Norway-headquartered company. Liljedahl, as the leading maker of racing poles, experimented with different materials and pole features to make the highest-performing poles available.
In the early 80s Swix retired the Liljedahl brand, but its legacy lives on in Swix-branded ski poles.
