antique yellow metal children's tricycle | circa 1940s

From Our Heritage Collection

An antique children's tricycle, circa 1940s, distinguished by its elongated tubular steel frame, spoked front wheel, and rear platform flanked by two smaller wheels. Faded yellow paint, a curved handlebar, and a spring-mounted metal saddle contribute to its striking industrial form. The richly weathered surface and sculptural proportions make this an evocative piece of early American childhood, particularly compelling in a farmhouse, country house, or folk art setting.

CONDITION

In good condition with wear consistent with age and use. Timeworn paint, surface rust throughout, and a heavily rusted seat. The front wheel is missing its tire, and the center frame bar has open ends, possibly intended for reflectors or lights. Sold as a decorative piece only.
