Can You Identify This Chain Driven Tricyle?
Q: Let me know if you can or can’t identify the make of this tricycle and if it has any value. Thank you.
A: No, we don’t know the maker. It looks like a bit like a Murray. We’ve also never seen another one like it, and think that your tricycle is a bit of a thrown together toy from various parts. The whole think looks like a pedal tractor with replaced rear wheels and handlebars, that is missing its tractor portion of the frame. It also looks a bit like those 1950′s cast tricycles made by Murray in the shape of a Good Humor trike, police trike, etc. – the three small wheels are used on those as well. ….but the seat would be wrong, as well as the handlebars.
Whatever it is, it isn’t original. There’s no way a child could sit on the seat and fit to reach the pedals correctly and reach the handlebars. It looks to be 1940′s era up to the early 1950′s. Perhaps it was some type of themed tricycle that is now missing some of its parts. It looks like it is too much of a mess with too many extra parts and missing parts to be worth much as a collectible.
