Silva ski catalog

I found (It was my brother's) a ski catalog from 1969-1970:

"LET's GO SKI-JOGGING", from
Silva USA, Laporte Indiana (better known as a compass maker)

Most of the equipment is Swedish. Examples:
No 51: Silva Super Special Racing Ski: made of laminated birch, balsa,
reinforced with glassfibre. Width 55 mm. Cost : $38.50

Several touring skis, width 65 to 70 mm. Also:

No 52: Silva Lapp Ski: Popular Lapland foresters' ski. Width 80 mm,
Length up to 250 cm Cost: $35.00

Top racing binding is Rottefella Fenex 3 pin, 150 grams $5.95
Touring bindings are cable bindings.

Most of the poles were made of tonkin, $6- $9. Top of the line racing
poles were glassfibre "Jofa-VM Olympic", $20.

I bought my first skis 2 years later, winter of 1971-1972:
Norwegian touring skis, cable bindings, tonkin poles
