Grieder Flyer Tricycle

A friend picked up this cool tricycle. We are wondering the year and if it pays to restore? Not much shown on the internet.

Any information is appreciated.

Merry Christmas- Mike

I see them now. Looks like a late '40s/early '50s tricycle. This was built right up there where Memory Lane is held. I'm not seeing this being worth restoring. V/r Shawn

Thanks Shawn, I’ll share with the owner, agree with @bike the badge is nice.

The Grieder Flyer trikes were the only ones I ever remember seeing with solid wheels all around. A neighbor boy had one of these in a larger size back when we were growing up in the 1950s. I don't believe the seat on this one is original...looks like it came off a Junior Toy trike by the seat top design. All the Grieder Flyer trikes I've seen always had a vinyl covered seat similar to this one: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/1315869_222-grieder-flyer-tricycle

Not sure how many years these were produced but you don't see many of them around for sale.

Thanks Dave, I thought the solid rims, wide bars and those hubcaps made it a bit more collectible.
I appreciate the link.

It sold for $50. A pint of red automotive paint and hardner will be more than that. V/r Shawn
