Its a 30’s American National “pioneer “ A Skippy ( approx 37-38)
Similar in year to classic Skippy Health bike with spring frame
Airflow rubber seat is text book
Only manufacturer I’ve seen use that long spring with art deco cut
Flared fender
And non adjustable rams horn bars
Came in 12”,16”, 20” and 24” mine seen is 24”
Your looks like a tot version 12” possible 16” hard to tell from pict.

Thank you for the information and effort to send it to me. So it looks like I have the small 12 inch Skippy.

Thanks Mark for the information and photos. The catalog pages are especially interesting.

Here is a 16” version Of my American National
FYI - most of my tricycles I post here on the Cabe to use
As reference because I think there are a lot in question with
Little info shared
Cabe will be a good reference to use.

I'll throw Garton out there but still waiting on @ridingtoy to weigh in on this one. V/r Shawn

I swear I've seen photos of one of these trikes before. Maybe here on the CABE? Have to do some digging....I may have saved photos of this trike model off ebay in the past.

Aha!!! I believe Mark posted those photos before here on the CABE. They sure look familiar.

The body looks a little like Velo King but the construction and step plate are not typical Velo King. Maybe later Gendron Wheel Co.? Looks like a copy of sorts of the Murray rams horn trikes. I do have a 12" project with a similar body but am pretty sure it is Murray too. Here are mine. V/r Shawn
