Old Family Trike

[Cinn06]

Hello! This sweet trike has been in our yard since the 1960s, literally. I’m hoping to identify it, but the only thing I see for a logo is the outline of a crown, and no words anywhere. Can anyone help me out? Thanks! Laurel

Looks a lot like this ebay item. Maybe the experts will speak up

Thanks! The only difference I see is the front fender.

Looks like a late '50s/early '60s MTD to me. @ridingtoy what ye say? V/r Shawn

The 1 on ebay is missing. That's the only difference. They're cool if you disassemble them and flip them over into low riders. Do a cheap clean up & amateur restore if you're bored or know a kid that could ride it. I regret getting rid of the 1 I had similar to it

I was thinking MTD, too, but didn't want to say until I could find a similar photo. I believe it is the same model as the one on the ebay link above. Possibly any differences in design is because the one shown by the OP with a crown on the head badge was sold through a store under their brand. Sometimes there are slight differences in design between trikes sold badged for a store brand and those sold with mfrs. head badge.

So I did Good at identifying it & assuming the sticker/head badge could have been different? 1st time I ever just jumped both "feet in" to identify a bike with pretty much 100% certainty

On the OP's head badge at the bottom there is a C to C marking with the word to circled with the outline of the US.

I believe Coast to Coast was a chain store. V/r Shawn
