Skateboard Patent Greetings Card

Skateboard greeting card. Printed in England on a light cream, 300gsm carbon-neutral Italian paper, made from 100% recycled post-consumer waste.

Adapted from US patent application filed in May 1959 for a child’s coaster, soon to become known worldwide as a skateboard. Surfers in Southern California had been experimenting with ‘sidewalk surfing’ for some years before the craze caught on in the 1960s.
