Silk kites have existed for nearly 3000 years, and it's known that paper kites existed as early as 589 AD. Recently found in a basement in Saint Louis, Missouri, these beautifully hand-crafted, hand screened paper kites are truly the last of their kind.
The Crunden-Martin Manufacturing Company in Saint Louis, Missouri was one of several kite manufacturers in the Midwest of the United States in the mid-20th Century. Unable to keep up with the video game culture of the 1980s, the company filed for bankruptcy in 1990 and was never to be heard from again. That is, until now.
Whether you use it to teach your kids the joy of flying a kite or to get in touch with the kid inside yourself by taking it for a run on a windy day -- or if you simply hang yours on a wall as a piece of found art -- we know you'll love this little piece of American history.
