Old 3 wheeler information request

[ba_50]

I got this at a garage sale for $25 and it looks old. There is no ID. Does anyone know anything about it and what it is worth? Thanks Bob

Bob,

what is the emblem on the front?

Can you post a photo please.

It is the name of a bike sales business, not a company. I'll look when I get back.

Look at the rear unit. Is it bolted in place to dropouts? Does it have a badge on it?

I am of the belief that it may be an Alco Villager 3

Al Cook, of Largo, Florida, made these in a small shop.

This fellow modified his into a showy recumbent.

Does the headbadge say anything? Perhaps Hammacher/Schlemmer?
