1939 Doodle Bug Speed-a-way tricycle

[Saintaug]

My Dad gave me his Doodle Bug that he had when he was a little boy. It is all original and everything is in tact. But it has been used a lot. I do not have a need for it and was wondering if someone could tell me a ballpark value of it. I would appreciate any info that you could provide. Thanks !!

I restored one a few years ago, there are few different version of these. Doodle bugs and Irish Mails. I have had the seat decal repoped and have one if you deside to restore it. Sulley

Sulley, thanks for the pics of your bugs. They look fantastic !! At this time, I am not interested in restoring it, but thought about selling it "as is". If I don't get any interest from anyone wanting to buy it "as is", I may have to restore it. I will get back with you concerning the decals if I do.

Thanks again!

This is the shape my Doodlebug was in when i got it, i payed $100 for it and sold it to a guy in NYC for $350 he also bought the Irishmail i had, i payed $80 for that and sold it for $275 i think it was a fair price both bought and sold. Sulley
