1950s Østbye of Norway Two-Piece Nordic Wax Kit - NEW!!!What we have here are some wicked cool, unused, two piece wax kits from the mid twentieth century. Peter stbye may not have been a Very Nice Guy, but he was a talented inventor. He was an owner of one of the first laminated wood ski patents, and also blessed the world with the invention of klister, for which we are ever grateful. Each of these kits (2 available) contains a harder, cold dry snow wax, and a softer wax for wetter or transformed snow.
