Sulley, is that the one which just sold on ebay? I was thinking of bidding but the stem is different on my Colson Imperial. If that is the same one I saw I'm glad you got it! By the way, would you be willing to sell your original handlebar. It's still in lots better shape than mine. Let me know...

Colson Emblem

Hi,

I still have my original 20 in. Colson tricycle from the early 50s. It is not in as nice shape as the ones in this thread.
I am thinking of fixing it up a bit starting with a new emblem. My tricycle has the single hole for mounting this. How is it mounted? Is it riveted?
I'm not sure I would know how to rivet it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I think it is called a blind rivit, you would need to take the forks off so you could get in the neck tube to put a backer againced the rivit to pean it over, most hard ware stores have these blind rivits. Sulley
