The radio/flyer wagon
Why is the red wagon called a Radio Flyer?
Radio Flyer's original steel wagons sold for $3 in the 1930s. The combination of “radio” and “flyer” reflects the founder's fascination with the two inventions: the airplane and the radio

Nice shot.
(I had to look it up....
Radio Flyers were named as a tribute to two famous men of the day: Marconi and Lindbergh.

Samantha, Thanks for the memories..! Some of my best bumps, bruises, and road-rash came from ridding mine and racing down the hill with my buddies. They were impossible to steer, tipped over easily, and there were no breaks. If I were young, I'd do it all over again.

)Wow! Who would have guessed. I remember playing with mine when I was four years old. I tied it to the back of my tricycle and loaded a garbage can in the wagon and became a propane delivery man. Fun memories. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for the Radio Flyer info, great picture at the right time. Brings back memories, as I had one when I
was a kid. Who knows how much stuff and people I hauled in that little red wagon.

Nice, patriotic display in your Radio Flyer wagon.
The nice thing about it, is it's mobile.
