How old are 'older crampons'?

I got some in 1975 that aren't going to see any more winters. They're still in great condition and they have reinforced rubber straps. None of your new-fangled 'step-in' crampons!

Quite possibly 75 vintage is fine. Just "normal" strap on 12 pointers really. I have no issues with traditional straps compared with modern ones so the chance to save some cash by avoiding new is great. My Old, 1980 ish Everests are fine on my boots, be it old Koflacjs or new Scarpas. What you got and how much??

Sorry, didn't get to pc yesterday.

Just remembered that as classics were not adjustable they were sized. Need to fit a 43 boot. Is there a size on yours or can you find a few measurements. Sorry to be a pain but no point in buy something that doesnt fit. for some reason work pc won't let me pm??? will try when I get home

They adjust for length - they fit my 44 Scarpa Charmoz nicely...too nicely - I'm beginning to like them again

I have a pair of Camp K2's. early 1980's vintage c/w neoprene straps. These babies are adjustable for length, 12 pointers, good nick and live in my cupboard so Mrs Boblo would be glad to see the back of them.
