Antique bicycle value question
 

Here in Japan my mother in law has an antique shop...
A long time ago she came into possession of this old bicycle.

Pictures I took of it:

I'd like to help her sell it/get it out of my garage...

But I can't find much info about value. I'm thinking its probably only worth $500 or less.

Here is one link to something similar which has a lot of documentation on the maker:

It's in really good shape considering it's over a 100 years old. I think it's all original.

What would you do with it?

Cool antique,but $100 as a garden ornament.

Gendron Pioneer tricycle (per google pictures). It's a little girl's bike (however they had different sizes).

Gendron was a company in Toledo, OH that made wheels circa 1900

FWIW

I agree with $100 for a conversation piece.

I’m sure Byron will trade you something for it.

Turn of the century bicycles can bring a bigger price than you might think. Mike Wolf from the tv show American Pickers is a big bike collector and could most likely tell you all about it including the current value. Neat old trike!
