    The Michiana Flyer is something I rode as a child in the early 1950's, my children rode in the 1980's, and now my grandchildren are riding. This is an Irish Mail type vehicle. I have searched the internet and cannot find another picture or information on these. there is obvious wear and some surface rust but it is still all original including paint. I'm not sure how old it is but I'm pretty sure it wasn't new when I got it. If anyone has any other information, it would be greatly appreciated. The desk in the background has also been in my family as long as I can remember and is from the early 20th century. Unfortunately, my brother painted it years ago and I had to strip and refinish it. I also have the ink bottle and straight pen but keep them away from my grandchildren.

      I found several. All in online auctions. Most of the auctions stated it was from the 30's but that might not be accurate.

      I've seen other brands of Irish Mail units but not this one. Any particular sites?

      Love them both! Is the desktop adjustable? It looks like it might be on the black area goes up & down?

      It adjusts up and down and locks with the knurled nut shown. The top also slides forward and backwards. My grandkids like it because it fits everyone, even smaller adults.
