Tricycle HELP... What is it?

-

Look Ma, No Hands!
Hello All,

Can someone help identify what this is and the potential value? I received it free (so that's a great deal), but I want to know an estimate value as it stands and or if anyone feels it would be worth restoring?

It has a Mercury badge on the front. Looks like someone spray painted some areas of the trike as well... not

Thanks in advance for your help!

You are correct. Along with the Murray badged counterparts, these don't have a great deal of value since they are quite common for 1950s era tricycles. It would be a fairly easy restoration...tires that would fit come up regularly on ebay or you could post an ad in the wanted to buy forum here on this site. This tricycle takes a 16x1.75 size tire on the front and 14x1.75 on the rear. The seat is no doubt original - Murray usually used a little nicer Troxel seat on their Mercury badged trikes. you could probably do a fairly decent job of adding new padding and vinyl cover to the top. Wish you success with your restoration should you decide to fix it up.

The other side

this is not a valuable tricycle either in this condition or restored- so if you put money in it do it for your own satisfaction.
 
Thanks Everyone! I think it will make a good decorator piece as is.

I'm more of a bike guy anyway ; )
