The Flexible Flyer sled was an innovation of the late 19th century that provided steering on the sled. This Speedliner sled was likely made in the 1960's and it's not a valuable antique. It will make an awesome holiday decor item for our front porch though. The Speedliner sleds were manufactured in Canada by Werlich in Preston, Ontario. The brand name is Playthings, which is part of a decal on the sled.

Restoring this sled was a challenge due to the deteriorated finish and decals. Watch the step by step restoration of this sled as it's carefully taken apart, repaired, and brought back to its glory by caring hands. Also check out the video of adults racing the Flexible Flyer sleds (see below).F
