Trying to figure out how much this trike is worth, it does have some rust near one of the handles and is missing the headlight but over all this trike is very cool. Any ideas?

Any ideas on how much this trike is worth? I have seen new replicas selling for $300.00
Are you sure this is an old one?
This is missing many things that were on an original, are the fenders plastic or metal? See this link for an original to look at,:http://www.tricyclefetish.com/junior_toy_co.php
Just trying to help.
The fenders are metal, the right turn signal, head light and grips are missing other than that it appears everything is there. very heavy all metal, seat has tool bag attached very cool.
Does it by chance have a label on the front? I would be curious to see a picture of that and I really wonder about the fringe on the seat..
Just figured it out. It is a replica made by a company in Orange, ca. (AFC) it cant be more than 9 years old as they started making these not long ago. It is well made though. Thanks for your input.
Not a complete loss, they are still worth some money, Newer replicas do sell for a couple hundred bucks.
I'm sure that once it is cleaned up and put right a new child would love to put some miles on it!!
