Catalog Description
The "toboggin" is a miniature of the large agricultural sledges used by the Swiss peasants to transport their wood, wine, and other things across the frozen road. The tobogginer sits rather to the back of his sledge; and when he is once in motion has only to steer, and be careful not to retard speed by pressure of his feet upon the ground. Toboggin races are a favorite pastime during winter in the high alpine valleys.
