Is there any evidence that it once had a metal head badge, maybe by rivet holes and/or an outline of the badge in the finish? I'm guessing late 1940s to very early 1950s by the skip tooth chain you mentioned as well as the rubber top Troxel seat which was used at the time on a lot of bikes and trikes.

no holes for headbadge.

Well, that definitely rules out Colson. It can really be frustrating trying to positively ID a smaller bike or trike when the name is missing. At least with larger bicycles you usually can get somewhere if you get the SN, plus someone will recognize something in it's design.

It's a Geranium. The color is holding up remarkably well for being that old.
