Junior Toy became part of AMF in the early 1950s and AMF was added to the decal at that time. This one is definitely pre-AMF and earlier than that time period of the early '50s. Interesting rear step plate and seat attachment design...not the usual design I'm used to seeing on Junior or Junior/AMF trikes.

Thanks Dave...i noticed the seat frame different than most others....she bought this years ago at a yard sale,guy she bought it from said he found it in an old barn....do you know of any way to replace the thin tires?? Whats left is falling off ang getting messy

Those are the old style rubber tires held on with a twisted center wire. There's a tool needed which holds the rubber open via a clamp while the wire is tensioned and twisted. I've read on their forums where a few members of The Wheelmen high wheel bicycle site have the tool, rubber, and know how to replace this type of tire. - https://www.thewheelmen.org/

I have the tool and I can replace the tires.
It's called 'Cab' tire

Thanks for the reply...how much do you think it would cost to have them done?....front wheel appears to be about 9 and a half inches and the rears about 6 and 3/4 and just under 3/4 wide....
