'39 Mercury World's Fair Tricycle, HELP, Need a Grip!

[Talewinds]

I've been on the lookout for one of these for a while, found one at the Indy/St. Louis shows this weekend courtesy of CABE member JOEL. The trike originally had the pointed grip, not the ball-end grip. Can anyone help?

Fox grip had them......

I know, thanks though Bri, I'm looking for one of the original, hard, chalky, ones with the patina in the grooves.

Also, bar diameter is 3/4"

I might have one. Give me a couple days to get to storage to check. I will let you know. Matt

Thanks Matt! Great to make your acquaintance this weekend!

I would be interested in the ball end grip. Or if anyone has a vintage pair PLMK. Thanks!

I think that's about the most unusual tricycle I've ever seen Murray make with that handlebar design. Definitely unique and a very hard-to-find tricycle model complete with original seat. You've got a rare find there!
