Vintage Belt Driven Children’s Bicycle

I traded some stuff for this Vintage Bike. I noticed that it is Belt driven and made by Berkeley Specialties Company. I was wondering if anyone knew what it is worth or any information on it?

 

Looks like it was constructed for a circus monkey!

 

did u trade good stuff....or bad stuff...?

 

Can you post a photo showing that company, please.

I found a co. With that name in California, don’t know if this fits your item, will see if I can learn more about what they made.

 

I’m actually finding that company made clothesline pulleys. This was in a Snippet in google, so I can’t fully get readable page. It would make sense, depending where yours is stamped. So possibly just constructed from parts?

 

Homebrew would make sense, or constructed for a special purpose or one person who needed that particular configuration.

 

Here's a Berkeley clothesline pulley:

The homemade idea makes sense - that could be an old pulley attached below the seat area.

 

any badges or marking anywhere on the bike or wheels.............????

No badges just on the main wheel which says Berkeley Specialties Company. Here are some pictures. Also, I traded some big automotive banners from a guy who collected Porsche. I will upload more pictures. And thank you to everybody who is helping me figure out what this bike is.

 

Please get close up of this yellow stripe, Any writing on tires?

 

I was able to make out “Aircapitol Manufacturing Inc. by Wichita, Kansas Wheel Divison” on the rear wheel but none on the front. Also, the stripe I believe was a sticker put on there because it does not have any writing or symbols.

So again, I could only find a snippet view. The wheels were made by a company that made lawn mower wheels. (That’s not to say that was all they did) that’s all I can find.
Wait for other people’s decisions and input. So far it does not look to be a manufactured piece. That does not mean it doesn’t have value. Please wait, as maybe someone will find additional information.

 

Aircapitol Manufacturers made 3-wheel lawn mowers.

 

And a sickle bar mower. RussTX, where did you find that 3-wheel mower photo? I would love to buy that thing! Dennis
