Belgian figure skates, around 1920
Traditional model provided
with elegant button boots (detail
1a). In the blades three marks are visible (details 1b, 1c and 1d). Godfrin
was a Belgian Brussels based company. Unclear is whether the made skates

and Sheffield Steel give reason to think the last was the case.
