Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Early Tricycle - believe to be late 20’s very early 30’s
Believe to Be Garton - Right on the split of rear frame there is a remnant of a 5 sided looks to be shield logo
American National had some similar tricycles Of this Era , bars look Garton .
Please leave feedback or input !
Wrong seat But looks cool , it’s original should be a all metal Seat with a single flat spring Holding a fixed 3/8” post .
Seat Should have front and rear pointed design , kind of sleek for its times , airflow or tear drop shaped .
Should have originally had teardrop pedals and grips.
This item still contains some of it’s original red and cream paint
Good rubber
Very cool sleek - lower winged Crank guards
Missing second correct neck bolt - hardware
I’m sure there was a collar of some sort or maybe simply bolts with washers

See few of these around and wanted to Use as reference
Enjoy
Thanks

Mark

Mark, where do you keep finding these rare goodies? You're right about the seat looking cool...I was thinking it was original by the streamlined design until I read your text. My guess would have been Garton based on the straight front fork alone, which was a design feature they used on tricycles over many years.

Thank you Dave
Appreciate your input , I was hoping some others may kick in some Good info.
These old ones are hard to nail down.
Most of the characteristics I thought seemed to point to garton but not always 100%
Dave ,
As far as your question I have a lot of good connections especially within the 4-5 hour travel circle around where I live.
Seasonal business and Love to Travel !
I also think between , Chicago , Indiana , Michigan and Ohio boy, these states were pumping out a lot and if not a good majority of bicycles , tricycles and other killer Riding toys early in the days.
But just like everyone else man I still get my Dry spells !! Seem to come in spurts .

Just seem to be in a decent location for this Hobby !
