Are these really worth that kind of money? I have a killer one that I bought, just cause it looked cool. Even has it's original leather case. It's shaped a little different though.

That’s a record for a vogue square tail for sure. I’ve got a few of them as they are a fun ski to play with. I guess with what wood 360s are going for this would seem like a steal.

Yes they are!! I sold that one on Facebook for $400 and the girl who got it was stoked.

I bought one for less than $100, but it needs new bindings I think. Figured it would be good for teaching kids.

This is my dad’s ski, Vogue big boy square back. He’s 93 so it’s been in the family for 40 or 50 years?
Currently on display at my brothers Lake Arrowhead house.

That model Vogue would have been brand new in the late 60's. I have my original slalom cut one. Our family friend skied in their advertisements and stopped me from buying a used older flat bottom Vogue for $30. My new one with full double bindings and a bag was $60, I would say approximately 1968.

My Dad bought it new, so that timing is about right.
I started skiing in 1970 or so behind my parents 14’ flat bottom with a 40 hp Mercury outboard at Big Bear. We all had to do shore starts on a single ski because the boat could not pull us up! He built the boat from a kit in his Altadena garage. Currently in the same garage is his 16’ Glas Ply with a 100 HP mercury. Has not seen daylight since 1989. My next project!
Somehow the garage did not burn but his house and all the houses around it are all gone

I was on a single ski in 1968. In the late 70's when I was working for Banks I got up deepwater behind a zodiac style boat at Marine Stadium with a 25 HP engine for a magazine ad. I should find that photo!
