Any ideas what this push scooter might be?

Hi all

Just joined the forum after picking up this push scooter - I have no idea what brand it is or how old it is, was hoping somebody on here could help.....

Any advice appreciated....

Hi,

Welcome to the CABE!

Checking through some riding toy collector books, the closest pics I could find to your scoooter is early 1950s Tri-ang, which were made in England. Some of the early '50s Tri-ang models had white tires like yours, and the general design and shape of the frame matches Tri-ang. On the flat area on the lower front is where the Tri-ang head badge would have been located. Hope that helps!

Hi Dave

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated... I have googled "Triang scooter" and I think you are correct - I found a couple of pictures that seemed to be the same scooter and they were 50s Triangs. To restore or not restore - thats the next decision! Thanks again for your help
