I've found several examples of this tricycle online but nowhere does it list a manufactures' name or year in which these were made. Handle grips and seat are wood.
By the patina appears to have some age to it. Hoping someone may know a name and location. I'm not 100% certain but I am leaning towards England.
Next is a picture of a motorcycle which certainly looks like someones metal shop project. Lots of pieces to put this together. Just a cool toy to show...

The Tricycle is late 1800s worth a nice amount of $$$. Though the asking and actual sale price can differ.
One description states.

Mud Hut - I have and have found several online but as mentioned so far I have not been able to find any information
that mentions a company and time frame as to when these where made. Will keep looking for that...

pepperj - late 1800's would be nice, my thought was first quarter of the 20th century. Yes they are asking a hefty price for these online. Some how I managed to get a good deal at $40.00

Thanks to both of you & have a good one .....

Interesting find for $40 Cariboo. :thumbsup:
My first thought when I saw your tricycle was that it was a home-made workshop project. The iron front and back wheels look like they're from a stroller or a pram and the front handle bar looks like it came from an early bicycle. This might explain the absence of a makers head badge. :icon_scratch:

As the saying goes: " Better to be lucky than good ". There is just too many of these to be a work shop project as I've found them online worldwide in England, USA etc. and all have no marks or names. Just one of these that are going to remain unknown...

Thanks ANTIQUARIAN and Happy Holidays ......

I suspect the motorcycle was one of a kind and not mass produced.
Regarding the tri-cycle, there is a search engine for "Patents" you might find has the originator date for the tri-cycle for adults it was copied after.
