Rescued this from a scrap dumpster. Couldn't find any markings on it. Can anyone tell me who made it and how old it is. Was painted green.

Thanks Bruce

Does it have wooden wheels?

 

[sirlostalot]

Doesnt look wood to me. Its hard rubber or plastic.

 

[kingskid1611]

That would probably put it around the middle of the 20th century. I know that in the late 1800's they were wooden. I think that would be 40's or 50's

I did find that the handles looks more Victorian era.

I would say that your tricycle dates to around the 1920s and a little earlier.

I think 1920s is a good guess. Check out some on this page.

Some one on another forum said he found it in a reference book "Riding Toys". He tells me it's a 1937 Toledo standard tricycle made by American National.
