Latest non-essential purchase is this nifty little Skyking trike..





It seems these were first made in 1936, and replicas are still available today. I'm not sure of the age of this one, I am sure its not a super-early one, however I don't think it is that recent either. The seller reckoned it was from the 60s and looking at the condition, I think thats about right. The colour was red but has faded away to the pinky colour it wears now.

I suppose it could be repainted one day, but are replacement decals available??
