Cruisin' on my Bluebird
This tricycle dates to the mid/late 1950s and was made by AMF Junior. If you Google "AMF rocket tricycle" you'll see images of this trike in various color schemes as well as what the front badge decal should look like. Not really a rare trike as they come up for sale on ebay regularly, but one that had an interesting and unique design. A couple neighbor kids had one of these in green when I was growing up back in the late 1950s.

You are correct about it not being a prototype. Here's a couple images of the chain drive rocket trike in two slightly different frame styles. You can find the replacement front fender decal on ebay. To date it a bit closer, it is from the late 1950s. The blue one below is on ebay right now but quite pricey at over $800.

Yea I posted those and the common denominator among all of these is they are all missing the red “rocket” caps. V/r Shawn
I have the “style” of the blue one. I have some rocket caps, little reflectors for the license plate holes… sadly only one proginal Pedal…. Given up tying to be 100% original, but once I let that go, I realized I can h ave a color that doesn’t make me Wanna puke! It’s just for fun, learning the resto process.
