Possible 1930's Tricycle

[MSmith]

Can anyone help identify the tricycle shown below? It was my mother's and we think it may have been from the 1930's.

This is a Frank F. Taylor tricycle and does appear to be a mid/late 1930s model. The rear step plate design is the positive identifier along with the heavy duty main frame tube. The streamlined Troxel seat was used on their '30s trikes of the art deco era. Taylor is also known for their Taylor-Tot strollers which were made over a few decades.

Thank you!

I found one today, what’s it worth? Everything is there incorrect grips, big fat hubs front and rear.

Mike this one is later than the OPs and I'm thinking just prewar i.e. '40-1. Here is mine which I'm pretty sure is postwar-late '40s/early 50's. Looks like they grew truss rods and an extra badge as time went on. Maybe @ridingtoy @Oldbikes or @cr250mark could shed more light on this. As for value on yours I'd say about $100 would be tops but trikes can always be difficult to value. V/r Shawn

Thanks Shawn, it was over priced so I left it behind.

Shawn, I think your dating is pretty accurate on the Taylor trike Mike posted. I'm basing that on the seat style with padded insert. One of mine has the same type seat but might be more into the war years since there's no chrome plated hubs or bicycle type spokes. The hubs are all painted steel and the wheels have welded spokes.

Phattiremike just answered a question I had about pedals by accident .
I was wondering if a set of pedals I have are for a tricycle and his blue trike has the same pedals .
thanks Mike
