Why don't you own it already?!

I couldn't tell you WHAT it is other than being a nice trike. Yes it needs work, but if you're up to it, it would make a great addition to anybody's collection.

Looks to me to be a rare mid '30's Hedstrom Minuteman trike, BUT it is missing the "full" front fender, which would be nearly impossible to find!

I'll second the Minuteman and agree about the missing fender. Hedstrom trikes are the only ones I've seen with the unique flat bar spring under the seat. Possibly another brand had them, but I've only noticed them on Hedstrom trikes of the 1930s.
