Please help me identify this Tricycle

[bnooney]

Hello,

I am brand new to your forum and this is my first tricycle/bicycle project. I have had this bicycle in storage at my dad's for over twenty years and storage has taken its toll. I am thinking about restoring it but would like to identify it first.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

From what I can see of it, I'm guessing it's a Colson tricycle. The handlebar and gooseneck collar style along with the general frame design are what I've seen on Colson chain drive tricycles. Yours is missing some original parts. Other than the obvious head badge and rear tires, there should have been rear step plate. The seat and grips naturally are not original. Check www.tricyclefetish.com on their Colson mfr page and you'll see a couple similar chain driven models.
