Occam's razor (or Ockham's razor), entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem, is the principle that "entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity" and the conclusion, thereof, that the simplest explanation or strategy tends to be the best one. The principle is attributed to 14th-century English logician and Franciscan friar, William of Ockham. Occam's razor may be alternatively phrased as pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate ("plurality should not be posited without necessity").

Occam's razor states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory.

In laymen terms: "The simplest answer is usually the correct answer."

Breezie - I think you really could have it with the pedal car idea but I don't know that the Garton logo is the flying R - this is what I found for Garton Tin Lizzy Hood Ornament replacement part:

But like you mentioned maybe the thing we are looking for could be a homemade version of this idea ...

Still unsolved but I agree its a good chance its a peddle car.
