A big project in the finals
I found a wooden tricycle in France many years ago. It was stored in the house of a former carpenter. The tricycle allegedly built by their grandfather after 1870. The machine was 90% complete, but much damaged. It was a great challenge to renovate.
The renovation was undertaken by my friend Franco in Italy. He send me several photographs in early 2021 with the result of his work. Big congratulations and the machine traveled to his private collection.
1904 St. Louis World's Fair Wooden Bicycle
My friend - historian and collector Colin Kirsch from England (you probably know his THE ONLINE BICYCLE MUSEUM) found a link to the auction hall offering an interesting wooden bike, but with it a number of questions for cycling collectors.
He himself writes: "AUCTION WATCH: Hand-built wooden bicycle which was raffled at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. Historic? Or vintage crap? It's coming up for auction on Sun, Jan 31, 2021 in the USA. Auctioneer's description: "outstanding original 1904 St. Louis World's Fair wooden bicycle." It's early 1900s and has a subsequent owner's paperwork with it that connects it with the 1904 World Fair, but it's a home-made decorative piece that does not look functional. The 1940 photo says it won second prize. But what was the competion for? I don't like it. What do you think? "
