More info from the "Collector Weekly"....The prototype for the first skateboard was a bright red metal toy from the 1930s called the Skooter Skate. When its handle was removed , a child could ride the three wheeled contraption like a skateboard, except it had steel wheels and lacked the ability to turn. A four-wheeled Skeeter Skate appeared in the 1940s. It was only marginally better. Ships to the 48 lower states for .00.Please message with questions.
