I love these. They remind me of my old tricycle, but back-to-front ! Don't remember any deliveries by bike to our house, but perhaps they'd gone out of use by the 1950s.
Today, you can sometimes spot them propped up outside a shop, but not for delivery use, more as as decorative/advertising pieces. Viv.
