Title: Anyone Know About Tricycles?
Post by: HowDueYouDue on April 07, 2014, 06:26:45 pm
I did a quick search and saw a few tricycle posts so hoping someone knows what model this is.

Picked this up yesterday. Have been looking to get one to restore for my son and this has been what I believe to be the most complete one I have seen (nothing too bent, tires in great shape, has both pedals)

Got home and tried to identify it but can't find the same one online. After treading through a sea of info, finally had enough and broke out the stripper (someone buzzed bombed it at some point) and went to work on where the model label would be. So here's what I think I know, it looks to be a firestone tricycle. Colson made tricycles and bicycles exclusively for firestone for a year in the 40s before the war.

Hoping someone here can confirm or deny this especially as I can't find one with the same rear end (3 posts).

Appreciate any and all feedback. Thank you
