This boys’ velocipede tricycle is similar to the 1895 Sears Roebuck ‘Wrought Iron Frame’ boys’ tricycle illustrated below. It could be slightly earlier or later, or a different model made by the same manufacturer – Sears Roebuck did not update the illustrations over the years. Comparing it, the pedals on this example are rounded, it is not fitted with a wire imitation front fender and the saddle was leather rather than metal.
Sears Roebuck did not make the tricycles. The manufacturers who supplied them usually made similar models which they sold themselves or through other outlets – the various retailers may have had different requirements regarding price or quality.
