Mike, I think that the red binding is a Look Turntable model, not sure which one. They were Z models 3/5/9 :D..then again, I could be totally wrong!
The very old rear binding with an external spring, by the oldest ski, may be an early Marker race binding...or not!

Bandit,,,,,

Hey hey you are not allowed to help him!!!!

I will take those "observations" as your input! You are correct!

Mike you devil,,now you are enlisting help from the others!!!!

Pavel

Thanks Bandit ... and yes, you are allowed to help :!:

It is stated in Pavel's own words on page # 1 in his second post after the photo of the wall:
" We want to foster co-operation ....this will motivate you all to share clues as the difficulty level increases...." I'd say we are at the increased level of difficulty now.

And Pavel, Judy has just tried to convince me which is the red binding left of the Dynamic ski. I know I'm red/green color blind to some extent; but this binding looks like a dull aluminum to me - a very, very faded red at best. It's a good thing this wasn't a "pick that color " type of quizz :!:

Bandit, I have been searching for Look / Marker vintage bindings but have come up empty so far. Your comments will narrow the search. And I do appreciate your help - especially since Pavel says you're right.

Judy is my wife guys.... when approaching an amber traffic light, for some reason she always tells me the color :cry: :roll:

Mike :evil:

Pavel, the black ski between the Rossignol and the Dynamic is a puzzle so far to me. It looks in shape to be similar to a Montgomery Ward Ski but the tip markings are different. The ER may stand for Queen Elizabeth but I thought she was only into horses and polo... ellistine and the other UK'ers should be able to offer comments on this. But since it is positioned in front of the Erik Roner poster and if it were not such an old style ski I would say that it has a direct connection to Erik himself.

I had one of those "head banging - light comes on" moments when LOOKing back at recent replies you said "LOOK it is there" etc. Your clues are subliminal for sure :!:

Mike

How about the ER on that ski. Thinking outside the box a little here. If I add 2 letters HERD. We get to something very much like a HEAD ski :lol:

Bandit,
Brilliant! Yes Head it is!!!!

Mike,

I know I keep saying this to you, but believe me it is true! This is more difficult for me than for you! The clues are so evident to me!!! Every morning I get up and wonder if you,Ellistine or Bandit or Jan have found those evident objects!!!!

As you all get to know me ,you will "see" that I love to collect "classics"! Those objects be they cars, skis, bindings that are classics!
A classic ski to me means a ski that has introduced a new design, a new structure or a new way to produce.....The Head Standard was such a classic. First metal sandwich ski!

Well, the sleepless nights are starting all over again !!! :cry:

But I will comment on a couple of things, and if others have already mentioned them - I'm not trying to step in - my observation powers are just lacking today.... :mrgreen:

The item with the blue background with the white "design" located left and behind the sun bug clip is a really short section of a Blizzard ski or a Blizzard decal - none-the-less it is the Blizzard ski company logo.

The black ski front section which extends behind the binding instruction sheet to just above the ski rack, and is to the right of the sun bug clip and behind the Rossignol T Power front section is the front section of the ski in vertical position between the HEAD (with the suspended plumb bob) and rear Rossi section. We can see what might be "TEC" on the front section. I'm unable to name the ski with certainty, but my best guess at this point is that it's an old Atomic. Two reasons; the tiny logo similar to Atomic's as part of the tip markings (also these markings could be a stylized "A") and the fact that Atomic have boots named TRITECH and BITECH..... Now, how's that for a stretch? :wink: I'm sure I've seen this ski on the racks at Martock.

Mike :roll:

When does the competition stop? I think i gave up after mike's first post and the pen and paper/print out of the photo went into dis-use rather quickly!!
