Pedal Cars and Trikes

 

I found some Hallmark Christmas ornaments that are about 1"=1'-0" scale at an estate sale the other day.  I have had the trike for a while, but I picked up the fire engine and the blue coupe.  ( sidenote - if any of you collect Hallmark ornaments, this estate sale is a collectors dream.  There are literally dozens of boxes and crates full of ornaments.  I don't have a feel for which ones were valuable or not, but if any of you need one let me know!)

 The firetruck is very detailed and modeled after an original pedal car.  I like the bell that is mounted to the front.

Here is a pic online of the real thing that has been restored - a 1940's Deluxe Fire Engine.  The real one has a lot of chrome!

 The blue coupe kind of reminds me of a character from Cars.  The body had great detail.

I looked for a picture of the real car this was modeled after and found this one.

 The trike has a tiny bell on the handlebars and springs under the seat.  I love how they combined a wagon and trike into one.

 These should be great accessories in my 1940's Strombecker House.  

So long for now !
