Looks like something that was homemade from a how to in a Popular Mechanic's issue.

Fairy Colson Auto Coaster I believe. If it’s the same model as my father’s, it’s a 1935 and fairly rare. Like many early prewar items, it was a very expensive toy sold during the heart of the Great Depression when unemployment was as high as 20%. Only the very wealthy would even consider spending that type of money on a child.

Definitely an Irish Mail.

I normally don't have a lot if interest in things I can't ride but this has TOTALLY piqued my interest!! Looks complete and would be fairly easy to service to get rolling again. Looks like a fun project!

@lgrinnings , thanks for the great info and picture! A fine example of one of the things I love about the Cabe. The amount of knowledge and willingness to share to help a brother out is awesome!

Thanks for sharing!
