AERIAL KITE CAMERA, USA   1999  (not very antique...)
Assemble kit: built a camera housing for a single use camera (included). You'll have 2 strings one attached to your kite and the second attached to your camera's shutter release so you can take a photo from up in the sky. 
(To take another photo you'll have to bring down your kite, BUT don't worry model B will have more strings!),
I like that crazy idea : A kite camera
