Vintage Antique Childs Toy Push Scooter Trike Tricycle Bunny Rabbit The Original

Description

This listing is for a vintage child’s wooden and metal 3-wheeled riding toy.
The seat top is approximately 17” x 7 ¼” on the widest parts and is about 9 ¾” from the ground.
The top of the handle bars is about 16 ½” from the ground.
The original sticker on the trike states “The Original”
“Trademark Registered U.S. Pat. Office” “Made in U.S.A.”
This piece really looks old, as it has lots of wear to the blue and white paint and lots of rust on all the metal parts.
The solid tires are coming off the rims and broken in spots. Please note the dark area on the handle bars where it meets the metal of the trike, this shows the distance that the handle bars can loosely go up and down at this point. The metal supports at the back of the seat appear to be bent a bit, and the trike does not sit level!
It tilts quite a bit, based on how the front wheel is situated. Due to condition of the toy, this should be a display only item and NOT for actual children’s usage.
I am not sure of the age of this item.
However, my husband is almost 57 and he remembers it from his childhood.
He has no idea of the toy’s origin or how old it was before he played with it. It comes from a non-smoking home.
Please refer to the photographs to make your own determination of quality.
This piece would be a lovely novelty item for a toy store or children’s apparel window display as the toy’s skewed form and scratched/rusted condition make it look really old.
It is certainly a piece loaded with lots of nostalgia from days gone by.
