Looks like its been repainted !! From the style looks late 40`s or early 50`s !! I had one later that wasn`t quite so straight up as that is !! It leaned back a little so it was easier to use and the footplate was longer !! !! On the one you have you have to stand more forward and upright !!
As is,, I would say around $30 to $40.  Restored to original  $75. to $100. but all that depends on where you sell it and how the market is holding up !!

Normally when it comes to outdoor toys,older one,s usually fetch more money..than younger one,s...and that was my point....this older one,is,nt worth much..which makes be believe the younger one...less,

I'm guessing that the oldest one here is the one being originally discussed...mainly because it looks as if it has a wooden platform. And I bet brakes were offered on the deluxe models.
I never failed to sell one of these, regardless of condition...sometim es not for big money, but there is interest in them.
