You need to post a photo. It would be much more helpful. I have a Tru Test tricycle i'm trying to sell. I think mine is from the 40's?

Mostr bikes built for Tru Test Hardware stores were monarks. The 5 digit serial # places it in a series of mystery numbers between 1938 and 9. If it's a six digit, and you missed one, that'd be 1946. Pics will complete the diagnosis!

I was wondering if you had ever sold your trike. Wish I had the cash and space to add more *collectables*...I'd definitely buy that nice looking trike from you, if I did.

Here you go. I have to find a box big enough to ship it if you want it?
