When Charles F. Kilgore of Minneapolis filed his patent for a boat propelling kit in 1915, his sole purpose was to provide a kit to propel watercraft. Since then, the paddle, as it has come to be known, has been moving generations of people forward. Used for both survival and recreation, the paddle offered people the means to control their water travel, to see more, and to do more.
The patent art of the paddle presents Mr. Kilgore’s propelling kit in detail, etched precisely into high-quality Birch. The birch is hand-stained, causing the engraved lines to stand out in relief against the pale background. This piece of art makes an enviable addition to any nautical collection. Framed in a custom wood frame, your paddle patent art arrives ready to hang.
