NOS Colson Tricycle? Maybe it could be restored to perfection?

WOW! That thing is sweet! Please don't restore it! It's too nice! As far as price and value, the headbadge will give you an indication of age. Im no expert on Colsons, but I think late 40s to early 50s. Tricycle prices are not too high. Guesstimation, $200-300

It doesn't get nicer than that!
I have a '41 Colson Imperial (Grillnose) currently in the restoration queue that had (and will again) that same color and similar paint scheme...burgundy/white/lime green pinstriping).
Post the SN as I assume the tricycles follow the same conventions as the SN's of the bicycles of the period.

I did buy it. I might not get to the serial number until Monday or Tuesday due to us closing on a new house today & moving over the weekend.
There is no reason to restore this trike. It will go in our expected new baby's room.
Thanks guys. It truly is a time capsule & I think it's never been ridden.

Wore out three sets of tires already!
I would believe it to be NOS. I have a NOS colson tricycle. I am not sure if anyone reproduces the decals for them. Super nice find!

could the value be 349?? maybe top end
its a nice tricycle. I think if you got it at that price,it may be at top of the retail. Unless a Colson collector MUST have it.
it loos really close to this one, same price- your's in much nicer condition.

I was 99.9% sure it had to be original. I've collected for 15 years & usually can spot a repaint. Are the NOS ones fairly common then?
I have another skip tooth chain drive Colson trike that is rough but 16" wheel all the way around. I thought it was too nice to pass up. Irony is: it has been for sale at this place for 2 years. I offered half of what they were asking & that bought it.
Colson Tricycles are.pretty common & don't have a big value. I do have another one here but when they are NOS vs. a used one in nice shape, it's a whole different ballpark. I will put it in a couple shows & maybe do some swapping at some point but for now it is room decor.
