Hi all, am new to this. Today i bought an old wooden primative pogo stick. Was just wondering if anyone could give me some more information such as age, history and price?
Thanks all, any information would help

Where your feet would go looks very small and close to the stick part !! Are the foot rests just loops of steel or are they solid !! What does the top part look like ?? Its dsoesn`t show in the pic !!

Hi, that is the top of the stick that you can see, it just goes straight up. The feet things are made out of loops of metal, they are not solid. You can surprisingly fit your feet onto them quite easily. Thanks for the reply

Oh, and the stick is about 4 and a half feet tall

Interesting historical info on pogo sticks. Looks like they can be as early as 1919. Yours is made of a wooden stick, right? Not a metal tube? If so, you've probably got an oldie!
