You should start a separate thread for your trike. V/r Shawn

Wish we could solve the mystery of who actually made the Rocket. I know some say Colson but I'm not sold on that theory yet. V/r Shawn

Hey Shawn, what is the green trike? And was it ever repopped? The reason I ask is I ran across one at a local antique mall that was faded out red and very cool looking like yours, I wanted to get it but other than the faded paint it was in suspiciously nice shape so I didnt take it, thanks

Very excellent collection. That Rocket is very interesting with its steerable rear wheels

Hey Aaron the green trike is a Sky King Jr. They were repo'd both the Jr. and the larger Sky King and you find them easily-they still make them. Once you see a real one they are pretty easy to tell. Look at things like pedals, seat post, and headlight guts--if it don't look 1930s chances are you're looking at a repo. V/r Shawn

Thanks the Rocket is a really neat piece and probably one of the nicest originals out there. This little sucker is heavy though! The stoutest of the bunch though is the Taylor. I think they built these for kids that could tear up an anvil! V/r Shawn

Thanks Shawn, I definitely think this was a repo, to many shiny pieces and the headlight looked like thin plastic, thanks for the info sir!
