Help ID this tricycle

[Evans200]

This is me, about 1958-59. I'd like to know what I'm riding on! Thanks

Did you try using a jeweler's loupe to magnify the head badge? Looks like the original photo might be readable since the badge is close to the camera. I do that with tricycle photos I buy off ebay to help in identifying different maker's designs. That way I can many times ID other trikes even if the head badge or decal is missing.

Thanks Dave. I'll see if I can magnify it. The actual photo isn't bad. but my camera takes crappy close ups.

The oval shape of the badge decal looks like a Garton. Some other features of the tricycle like welded spokes, painted handlebar, and straight front fork were used on Garton trikes of the 1950s.
