Can anyone help?

I am looking to find some info on the 3 wheeled scooters in the attached photos.  The photos don't show very much.  What I do know is that my grandpa got them when he was a boy and he is 95 years old now.  He calls them "blue boys"?  I am not sure if that is the actual name or not. Any info would be greatly appreciated?

The problem is Blue BOY was used by numerous company's prior to world war two. as a trade mark. Auto wheel coaster co.,inc is likely to be the maker of this scooter

The pictures put a big smile on my face!  Those "scooters" are mighty sturdy to to be so old and support the weight of adults!!!

What is hard about this is that the word "scooter" has a different meaning now...than you are intending (A child's vehicle consisting of a long footboard between two small end wheels, controlled by an upright steering handle attached to the front wheel.).

Believe it or not, yours is usually still considered a tricycle - because of three wheels - thus tri-cycle.  Even tho it does not have pedals. (Although growing up we thought of them as toddler scooters,  foot scooters or more commonly known as a "trike" or "trike" scooter.)

There is a good site that has the most complete list I have seen of manufacturers of tricycles....they have a contact us section that you could possible send them the information.  Generally people with sites like this are more than happy to help you find the information....or may be tickled to find out a new trike they have never seen before!

Thanks for the info...I think you maybe right. I am trying to find some more info like year of manufacturer and so on.  Not a lot on the internet.  Interesting to know that they made steroscopes then went back to making Kiddie Kars.

According to mark rich. Author of Toy's A to Z ( 2001) issue this style was popular in the 1920's. note the coil spring in the rear. sometime's the computer just does not tell us what we would like to know.

We have to resort to Ancient History, Book's.

Lol...thanks...I guess I have been so accustom to having everything at my finger tips... spoiled would probably be a more accurate statement.  Thanks for all of the info.  I will be passing it along to my grandfather.
