    OK, Kiddies,
    Time to check the attic for your old TV toys!

    (Pressman, 1964) An excessively rare vintage Herman Munster kite manufactured by Pressman Toy Corp. The kite kit consists of a bridle, a cross spar, the Herman Munster graphic kite cover, clips, caps, and rubber bands still factory sealed in the original plastic, and an instruction sheet. The original plastic sleeve packaging is included. Measuring 38.75"x4", the kit is in very good condition. The kite bag has been opened at the top but is otherwise intact with only a few tears and snags. The scarcity of this item cannot be overstated and is possibly, at this point, the only surviving example in the world that is this complete.

    I wish I could go back in time and tell my 1960s/1970s self to buy more cool stuff and save for a rainy day instead of blowing it on pot :)

    I had the Jolly Green Giant kite. We had to send in
    like 20 labels. It lasted like two flights before it got caught in power lines. I think I have seen one or two at auction.
