Vintage antique miniature salesman sample model Triple-Tandem Bicycle Authentic Rare
This vintage black miniature Triple Tandem Bicycle is a rare find for the collectors of antique sculptures and figurines. This 19th-century style bicycle is made of iron and has an antique finish. It is a salesman model that can be a great addition to your collectibles.This craftsman model is a representation of bicycle transportation during the 1800's when bicycles were powered by peddle motion only. Up n' down peddle motion propels bicycle motion in the back wheel, treadle style. The functioning front and back wheels both spin. Shaft-driven bicycles using drive shafts and bicycles with chains came about in the late 1800's, replacing Peddle Powered bicycle models. No kickstand design. This collectible appears to have been crafted during the 1950's with a focus on authentic features of a bicycle in the 1800's.
