Any idea of maker

[User42423]

I purchased this c1950s child's tricycle of ebay recently. It was listed as a Gresham Flyer.
However, Gresham badge is different to this one. Any idea's of the maker.

I have no idea really, but had a quick search about and found this;

Advert for Gresham Flyer on eBay - certainly looks like your bike http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222358778246?rmvSB=true
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222358778246?rmvSB=true
Another bike for sale on eBay - again certainly looks like yours http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/gresham-f...tomobilia-showroom-bike-bycicle-/190877659312

Aberdale Cycle Co on Wikipedia - they made the flyers, but were sold to the British Cycle Corporation in 1958 - could this explain the change of head badge?

Gresham Flyer head badge link - is this what you think it should look like? http://headbadges.blogspot.fr/2005/04/gresham-flyer-by-aberdale-cycle-co.html

Good Luck with your search

Is it a Triang?

I remember having a Triang tricycle around that time. Mine had a little opening 'boot' behind the seat post. Red too, but then I think most were.

Gresham Flyer was obviously considered to be a good name, perhaps too good to be only used on a child’s tricycle. So the name was also used for bicycles exported to the USA in the 1950s by Raleigh.

Note the tubing arraignment on the one in the picture versus yours
