BRIGGS & STRATTON “SMITH FLYER”.

BRIGGS & STRATTON “SMITH FLYER”. Ca. early-1920s. Developed by the A.O. Smith Co. of Milwaukee, the manufacturing rights were purchased by Briggs & Stratton in 1920 and were held until 1923. This imaginative vehicle consists of a laminated wood buckboard platform with engine attached to a flywheel/road wheel with engagement lever to put vehicle into motion, two bucket seats (with Briggs & Stratton decals), metal fenders, hand throttle, foot brake, and wooden steering wheel. Likely intended for resort areas, it is a truly fantastic and possibly unique mode of transportation. Comes with custom fitted cloth cover. According to the consignor, the vehicle was purchased by a physician many years ago for his children, but never given to them, which accounts for its near pristine condition. SIZE: 97” l. x 33” w. x 36” h. CONDITION: Near mint with only the slightest of chips, one small crack in one of the platform slats. We understand that the engine runs, but needs some minor service. 1-5602 AT (8,000-10,000)

Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Fall 2005

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
