I went to the dump this weekend and found two prizes. A Garton Delivery Cycle and a Murray Fire City Battalion #1 Pedal Car. Not having a clue I joined the CABE site in the hopes of getting some ideas about value and repair ideas. The Garton has a bad tire but aside from that the paint and chrome fender, and functionality are quite good. My grandson fell in love as soon as he saw it and I had him riding on it in 15 minutes after adjusting the seat and tightening the handlebars. Can anyone tell how best to get an age and value on this piece of Americana. The Murray is functional as well. Ladder and back extension pieces are missing and the wheels are worn almost to the metal but again the kids love these pieces. I am a bit worried that they may ruin the value and wondered if folks would comment on whether they should be used and enjoyed or polished and sold. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
