Looking for Info on an Old Surrey Type Tricycle
Q: Your site has been very helpful and I’m hoping you can help me even more. Attached is a picture of an old surrey tricycle that I uncovered while cleaning out an elderly relative’s barn. I was told it had been in the family since the late 50′s/ early 60′s. I couldn’t find a manufacturer’s name anywhere but it appears that the bike had been repainted at one point and the bonnet is definitely not original. If your able to view the picture and can share some history of this type of tricycle, I would greatly appreciate any assistance. I’m hoping to restore it over the winter and then pass it on to the next generation in my family.
Thank you so much.
A: Can’t say that we’ve ever seen one like that before. It probably dates to a little earlier than your 50-60′s estimate, probably to the 1940′s, though that could be wrong since I’ve never seen one. We’ll post this to our blog and Facebook page and see if anyone can help.
