Larry I would suspect early twenties. By the thirties CCM was selling "matched sets" which meant the boots and blades were attached before they left the factory.

That's a nice display item.

John, how did that work when you bought the blades? You had to find a boot and have someone to fit them together?

Yeah. Initially the blades were strapped to your boot.

Then companies began to provide screws with the blades, so you could attach them more securely.
