Story
The early 1900s saw a radical shift in how families moved through the world, as the heavy, coach-like prams of the 19th century gave way to these nimble 'go-carts.'
Maker / Origin
While several companies used the 'L.B.' initials, the design is highly consistent with the Lloyd Manufacturing Company, founded by Marshall Burns Lloyd.
Condition & Value
The metal frame shows expected surface oxidation and the wooden handle has a lovely aged patina. However, the canvas seat is heavily faded and shows tearing/weakness at the stress points, which is common for textiles of this age.
