Lot 509
A Juvenile Rear-Steering Open-Front Tricycle.
Probably dating circa 1885, a very rare small size tricycle having a dark green-painted frame; the driving and support wheels are 30-inch, the rear steering wheel 15-inch, the latter controlled by the right-hand stirrup handle. The crank, pedals, chain and wheels all look original, but the padded seat has been replaced.
