Info Wanted on Thistle Tricycle
Q: This summer I came across this little beauty. I have done an hour of research since then as to the history of it, but I have come up empty…..
A: Your tricycle is a Thistle, as stated later in your email. It was made by Triang (some Triang company info) possibly in Canada. They for sure had factories in England and Australia, but a lot of these pop up in Canada, and though we’ve never confirmed it, they likely had a factory somewhere in Canada.
Your tricycle appears to have been made in the mid-late 1960′s. The Hercules bell that you mentioned was probably not original to the tricycle when new.
