Juvenile Bicycle Identification

[ridingtoy]

I've had this 14" juvenile bicycle for several years that I found in a Richmond, VA indoor flea market. The stall owner thought it was a 1933 model. I've been trying to positively ID it without success. Didn't Colson have a "Prince" series of bicycles in the '30s? If so, I thought perhaps it was made by Colson and therefore called a "Little Prince". The original paint colors are carmine and cream. I've looked all over the frame and haven't found any serial number or any other identifying codes. Just the "Little Prince" on the head badge. Appreciate any help in ID-ing it.

Looks kind of like a HP Snyder or DP Harris (Rollfast) sprocket and badge(?).

I agree that the Snyder and Colson sprockets do appear to be similar, (never put any side-by-side).

I bought this bike several years ago at a Richmond, VA indoor flea market. That's the only name on the brass head badge. The owner said it dated to 1933 and I've verified the style matches that era exactly. I know Colson had a "Prince" series of adult bicycles back then. Perhaps this was their...

Thank you for that information which could possibly narrow down my search. You found my old post from 2010. Nothing really surfaced about the bike's maker back then. I'll have to do some more digging based on the Snyder and Harris (Rollfast) names to see what turns up. The bicycle has a New Departure Model C rear hub if that would make any difference.
