Q: I thought I had a photo to send you, but I see I must have deleted it. I had a “tricycle” when I was 2 years old – in 1949. It had 3 wheels, and a flat wooden seat that extended quite far – in fact right to the handlebars. Are you familiar with this? Is it a tricycle??? Pat M.
A: There were many different models of tricycles made by many different brand for decades like the one you describe. Many of them are very similar and can be hard to distinguish, especially if all the markings (which are often times on the seat) have worn off. Tricycles of this style were made from the beginning of the 1900′s (or possibly before) and this style continues to be made today by some manufacturers.
