With those solid wheels my first thought was a Grieder Flyer - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grieder-Fly...156?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2566b6f0b4 - solid wheels were an identifying design feature of their products. However, I don't know if that trike maker also made small bikes, although it's quite possible. That company started producing trikes right after WWII. Couldn't even give a close guess on the value.
