I can't date your sleds but I'm guessing late forties. My favorite memories of sledding was when there was a hard crust on the snow, usually in Feb or March when the sun was getting a little higher in the sky. We'd have to get out there with the sleds fairly early in the morning before the crust started to soften. We have plenty of fields with long hills and you could get going extremely fast. Sometimes we would sit up and sometimes we'd lie down. I don't have any of the sleds from my youth but I have collected a few over the years.

It was great fun!
They are not only longer but they are about 2" higher and much wider than the normal Flexible Flyer. I don't remember seeing these big ones when I was a kid.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
