    I thought this was an old Triang scooter but when I looked at the pictures I realized it said Triangle something.... on the side. Does anyone know who made this scooter, and how old it is? I'm thinking 1930s.

    Just out of curiosity, were scooters ever made in any color other than red? And children's wagons?

    Hi,
    If I remember right the 30s scooters had wire wheels yet. The 40s started the solid wheels. Scooters and wagons were red unless you painted them. The one color was cheaper to manufacture instead of numerous colors.

    Totally off topic, but Radio Flyer wagons came in other colours (blue and yellow, possibly green) in the 1940'-50s. I think it was related to a Disney deal.
