    That's awesome. The Kalamazoo Sled Company actually has a somewhat interesting history. http://www.kpl.gov/local-history/business/kalamazoo-sled.aspx

    This is a GOOD one. I love the ones you find that show a little something about the way life really used to be.

    We had one of those "flying discs" when I was a kid. It was yellow but the same design.

    Awesome! I wonder if No. 730 chairs are the ones with the canopy, or the ones without? (from the little picture of products on the stationery)

    Now that is an excellent company name. Modern company names are rubbish. It'd be all 'Sled Solutions' or 'Sled Central' these days.
