1905 Alldays Carrier Tricycle
This 1905 Alldays Carrier tricycle is my oldest vehicle. It was originally used by Watson Prickard Ltd, a firm of gent’s outfitters in Liverpool. Some old laundry boxes are inside, so I assume that one of its uses was to deliver clothes to and from the dry cleaners.
Alldays made cars and motorcycles too, and the company name later changed to Alldays and Onions, and finally to Allon.
The advert below is for a later range of delivery cycles: by now the name at the top is Alldays and Onions; and the carrier tricycle pictured is different from mine.
The handcarts pictured in this brochure interest me because although such vehicles are no longer known to us in the West, pushcarts such as these are still in very common useage in India and Nepal.
