Mike First place at 36 items

Ellistine second place at 8 items

Tie for third place

Jan = 5 items (with a slight lead due to his "hawk eyed DIN value observation),,,but fading fast

Coming up very very quickly is Bandit with some amazing observations with 5 items!


Everyone,,,, now the fun begins!!!

You can at least get 20 more!!!!

Look there are some very interesting items which are just waiting for you!

LOOK!!!!

LOOK!!! It is there!!!

I nearly went out today to take some close pictures for you,,,,but I LOOKED at picture and there are at least 20 items which are clear!!!!

Come on Jan are you going to let Bandit pass you?

I would like to add another item as I don't recall anyone mentioning this. I may be wrong in that assumption ... :oops: The tail of the ski in a vertical position an the left side beneath the boot on the "bench" is a HEAD rear section ... more study is needed to name the model but it is the same ski as the HEAD ski from which the plumb bob is suspended with the hat on the ski tip more to the right in the photo.

And this has been something I was wondering about ... is the girl who's head is visible just above the Rossignol circle behind and left of the "old green ski" wearing a Sou'Wester or does she just look like that is what she's wearing??

And may I suggest that Jan's view of your DIN setting, Pavel, possibly should be worth a few more points :wink:

Mike

Another point for Mike. Yes you are correct about the taill section of the head ski.

As far as the "girl" no she is not wearing a typical Nova Scotian "hat".

As far as Jan's DIN item, I agree it deserves an , "honorable mention" at least! I got many comments about it! I will try to find some "special" award for him for this "unique" discovery!

This is where I step way out on the limb and make a couple of desperate guesses.

The "old Green" ski as it has come to be known - which is located vertivally at aboout the photo's center is a Lund ski dating to about 1920 at which time it was considered "state - of- the - art" They were manufactured in St. Paul, Minn in a company founded by Christian A. Lund around 1911. What gives me reason to name them as Lund skis is the pair of lines which cross at the tip and pass over the decal level with the "RX9" of the Fischer ski. The decal is that of a skier crouching into a left turn with poles out behind him. Some say this is a decal of Sir Arnold Lunn - "inventor of modern ski racing". The decal of the skier (which is really difficult to see) includes Lund in a script above the skier pictured. The skis are about 81 inches long and 3" wide - just a guess.

The binding on the ski may be a Dorve binding of about 1930's but more likely it is an early Sears toe release binding of about 1950.

The other of pair of this ski is found on the ceiling to the right running out of the picture at close to the top right corner from the tip of the Dynamic ski.

Even if these aren't what I'm guessing they are .. it was interesting coming up with this wild guess and learning of Sir Arnold Lunn. :lol:

Also I want to add to this submission that the HEAD ski to the right which runs vertically to the base material near the ceiling is the front section of the rear seciton on the left side beneath the boot on the bench. Still don't have a model name or year for them.

Mike :wink:

I don't believe anyone has identified the section of a ski located behind the tip of the TYRO Megadrive ski. This is a section of a Rossignol T Power PPS ski with the left end of the cut section pointing to where the tip used to be. This foot long section is likely part of the tail section on the floor in a vertical direction to the right of the ski in front of the TYRO ski.

Also the black item of about 10" in length, located behind the tip of the Dynamic ski(right of the mirror) is a section of a ski positioned so that we are looking at the base side rather than the top sheet.

The Scratch decal on the ski rack and poster which Pavel tells us in the profile of a woman must indicate that Rossignol were about to give birth to a new ski line as this profile certainly shows the woman to be "expecting" something :!: Was this what Pavel illuded to when he suggested to ellistine that his girlfriend would want him to see something here :roll:??

Now to identify some ski poles and those bindings which are so obvious :lol:

Mike

For a last entry for today I would like to name the young gentleman wearing the brown knitted toque in the poster. He is located left of the Rossignol sticker left of the Fischer ski and slightly on a line below the boot on the bench. From what I can determine this is the big air freestyle skier Candide Thovex of France who won gold at the Winter X Cames Slopestyle for 2007. He was on Rossi Scratch skis.

Mike :shock:

What can I say!!!!

Wow!!!

You are really impressing me! You really are a CIA photo interpreter!!!

Amazing! Great answers and all correct! I guess I will have to start making a package soon!

How did you get that "old ski" identified! I suspected only old ski dinosaurs would identify that ski!

Now what about that black ski to the left of the Rossi ski?

What about that binding to the left of the oldest ski?


Now look at that red binding to thye left of the gold center ski!!! LOOK at it carefully!!!!


What ius that long thing hanging from the binding under the ski rack?


Above the glass holder what is that piece!

Lots yet to find !!!

The long thing hanging from the binding below the ski rack is a leather thong or strap used to tie the foot into the binding. More to come on that ... and possible changes to saying it is a strap so that the ski won't get away in case of a fall. It turns the ski into a helicopter's rotor blade!

I've been looking at the item above the sun bug glasses clip but don't have an answer yet.

I'm not sure what binding is the red one left of the gold ski (Dynamic ski (?).

But we still have another week to go !! :roll:
