So, I see an ad for the ladies mercury on the local CL for $25. I happened to be looking for a fixer-upper for my wife and it looked perfect (and the price was right). When I arrived he asked if I was interested in any more. Of course I responded " I'm always looking for more!". I'm interested but only have $40 from the ATM. I offer that on the mercury and the three small bikes and he says "I'll do $40 but you have to take this mountain bike too." "OK!" Here are the pics:

If anyone has any information about dating the mercury I would appreciate it. I read that murray stopped making the mercury line by 1942 so I'm assuming it's pre-war. Serial MO-L 15 1014

Thanks for looking!
 
Sorry tnt, the trike will be a future project. By the way, the solid rubber tires on the trike are shot. Does anyone know were replacements can be sourced? I haven't measured for size yet. Thanks.
 
Um, I need to find hollow tires, i will try to see if anyone says :D
 
I have some solid rubber trike tires for the front. Let me know what size you need. I think mine are 20" and might have one 16". Will send you one for the cost of the postage. Very old but NOS.

That little Roadmaster has a convertible tank. Take out the rear bolt and move the tank up to make it a boys bike. Gary
