NOS Tricycle Antique Vintage Pal Super Bike with Tag 1940's-1950's

NOS Pal Super Bike Tricycle circa 1940's-1950's. It still retains its original hang tag dated 1944. I bought this from a general store that was going out of business after three generations many years ago. The daughter explained to me that one of the Bakelite/hard rubber handle grips had cracked during assembly, so they just used it for display in their children's section for all those years. It appears that the tricycle has never been ridden.. Matched up with her childhood memories. It's all original, as close to perfect as you will probably see..

Given the age and display use. Now, let's be clear. The small amount of paint imperfections are minuscule.. But this piece shows the warmth and beauty in the patina that you would expect from an unused 1944 model. I suppose the hang tags could have been predated in bulk printing in 1944, thusly my range of age.

Great piece, you be the judge. I can do that for you.
