Garton Toys Vintage Delivery Cycle Trike Restored Rare Find

It's been very difficult finding any hard facts on the model and the actual year this model was produced. I will tell you this one is in very good condition for its age. The frame is very sturdy and solid. From the farthest point at the front of the wheel to the back of the wagon measures approximately 37 Inches long.

In the current position, the distance from the ground to the highest point on top of the handlebars is 24 inches. There is also a working bell chime on the handlebars.

This trike has these ape hanger style handlebars vs the bullhorn style I have seen in photo's on other trikes. The front spoke wheel is made of metal and has a very good set of black pedals. The wheel measures approximately 9" inches in diameter and if you include the hard rubber tire the diameter is approximately 11-1/4" inches. Also, the trike has a chrome fender in very good shape with the exception of a small dent.

Please refer to the picture for details. The rear wheels are also made of metal and measure approximately 8 inches in diameter and if you add the hard rubber tire the diameter is approximately 9-3/4 inches in diameter and also include red rubber caps finishing the edges of the axle. This is a real children's vintage Trike/Wagon combination that has been restored, not to original, but similarly, with some added features for character. Four generations of the Garton family owned and operated the business until 1973. As I understand it, the downfall of the company was the new plastics era.
