Amf Junior tricycle help

[Cotton]

Pulled this tricycle out of the shop, thinking I might restore it for grandson. It's an AMF Junior, but not sure what year.
The decal is different than what I see online for the 50s-60s model: My decal has a *banner* on which "Junior" is written [tho hardly legible], the banner is scrolled, as in, wraps around to the back [of AMF shield]

; the emblems I see online show this section as a straight rectangle. Not sure what this signifies to date my trike.
Did my tricycle originally come with a front fender?
The right rear wheel has one broken spoke and is bent some.
Left rear wheel has a 1" chunk of rubber missing.
Front wheel is very bad, down to the wire...
One poster showed a tricycle like this where the front wheel rubber had been replaced with a hose...!
So, what are opinions on feasibility of fixing this one? Needs wheels, pedals, handle grip.
Thanks very much!
[apologize the pics are dark] Also, don't know why/how uploading the pics interrupted the text...

Here's a picture showing the difference in my *banner* decal, this one with the straight rectangle for "Junior":

Here's a couple web pages you might find interesting, if you haven't seen it already: http://www.tricyclefetish.com/AMF.php http://www.tricyclefetish.com/junior_toy_co.php
The color ads and photos help answer your question about a front fender. I think yours dates to mid-50s since Junior used a scroll before AMF took them over earlier in the '50s. It's just a matter of figuring out what year(s) the scroll banner was used under AMF. Could have been used only for one year and then changed. The ads won't zoom in enough for me to tell.

Thanks for your reply, Dave. Yes, have been to the fetish website, but not finding my specific decal. Did see one picture identifying trike from the 50s...with no front fender...and surely cannot see what the decal looks like.
This looks just like mine...rust, et al.

I just happened across this site while doing some tricycle head badge research: http://gocreativegraphics.com/page_22.html

They have the AMF Junior replacement decals in both the diagonal bar and scroll style. I've never dealt with them myself...just stumbled across their site by accident today.
