A 16-year-old Italian boy named Antonio Pasin immigrated to America from Europe at the start of the 20th century. A skilled carpenter, Pasin headed to Chicago and began building little red wagons out of stamped metal. By 1923, he had saved enough money to create the Liberty Coaster Company, and he began mass-producing the wagon for just under $3. He named it the "Radio Flyer" in homage to two of his favorite inventions of the time: the radio and the airplane.
The Original Little Red Wagon became an icon of childhood, used to pull kid siblings, to deliver newspapers, to race down hills with that funky reverse-handle steering. 🤔
