History Martin A. Strand established a ski manufactory in Minneapolis in 1896 and relocated to New Richmond, Wisconsin in 1911. The company shut its doors in 1948. Although skis were Strand's primary focus, other products included this child's chair as well as, according to historian John B. Allen, paddles and oars for the summer sporting goods market. In 1942, the Strand Ski Co. was issued a patent for "Restwood springs for furniture and bed springs."
