Sold Late 30’s Sleek Designed Tricycle

[cr250mark]

All metal Trike
Sleek lines, Nice curved Bars
12” Front rubber is present but pretty weathered
Back rubber good shape
Airflow metal seat design with strap style spring
Early paint over
1 unique pointed grip present
It has a little difference in design than typical known torpedo grips
I’m making a assumption by rear step pattern tells me this looks be made possibly by junior toy corp.
Maybe Metal Craft or Hedstrom
Hopefully Dave, Alan or another will throw in a thought
Love to hear your opinion
I bought it to look over and check out seat and frame design , I had a few of these strap spring design trikes and they were similar but all slightly different in construction
Now hoping it goes to a good home
Ask question if you’d like


asking $265 shipped
Or $225 delivered to ML in spring

Nice Mark, would it have had a front fender?

That curved backbone looks like a Hedstrom signature. Cool little trike. Probably didn't have a fender as a 12"

Believe this was a fenderless version

Mark, it is a Hedstrom Minuteman. Some came without the large front fender. Other than the fender, the overall design is the same. https://onlinebicyclemuseum.co.uk/1935-hedstrom-minuteman-tricycle/
