ca. 1915 Half-Scale Model Bicycle
This hals-size bicycle was built by Fred Marriot in his spare time. Using his kitchen as a workshop, Marriot hand crafted every part with painstaking attention to detail. A former bicycle racer, he was employed as a mechanic at the Stanley Brothers manufacturing plant in Massachusetts. Marriot also gained fame as the driver of the Stanley Beetle steamer that reached a blistering 127.56 mph at the dawn of the 20th century.
