Vintage children’s bike

Saw this in a store

Were you able to get any better views like a full side and/or front? Did it still have a head badge? Even if the badge is unreadable the badge shape can still possibly identify the maker.

@schwinnguyinohio , it's called a "Sidewalk Bike" and they generally date from around late 1920's to early 1930's. I agree with @ridingtoy that better photos are needed in order to tell you much more such as specific manufacturer.

I will advise you, the sidewalk bike you are looking at appears to be missing the crank arms which will be a bit of a problem to find. Depending on the asking price in the store, it may end up costing more to restore than it is worth but value is in the eye of the beholder. I have purchased complete examples in similar condition for around $200.

I may have crank arms for that. I'm not sure, and would have to check. I bought a lot of NOS child's cranks many years ago and haven't looked at them in ages.
