Yea, cool stuff!!!! But wait, here comes something special again

Interestingly there is 4th class kite "in full assemblage" from Showa apoch (1936 + period of time) at the same trading place ...

4th class kite from Meiji in case for 5th class kite from Showa + rosette from red cross medal. That`s what I call "mix-amd-match"

Now let`s turn our attention to 4th class kites that are currently on sale. Check this out! Looks like seller doesn`t realize that this is actually 4th class kite ... Guess that`s why he decided to put it in case for 5th class kite from Showa epoch

And another 3st class Kite is currently at YJ. This one came from Showa epoch (I`d say late 30s) It has original ribbon and box.
