I have been fascinated with the past all my life. Although time travel is not possible (at least, as far as I know), we can still experience it through what I call "relics of the fourth dimension." Namely, as the old saying goes, "time marches on." We can't travel in the fourth dimension, except going forward in the present, but we can follow the trail of the fourth dimension. Along the way, people lose or discard items from their being. These relics are unintentional time capsules that give us as glimpse into their lives. Here on The Time Searchers blog, I will show some relics of the past that I have run across in our present. Sometimes when I am out on a relic hunt with the Colonial Relic Hunter, we know that we are not alone. There is more than just relics at these historical sites. Indeed, it could be said that there is a portal to the past, perhaps to another dimension, where that which once was, still is. A place where the real consorts with the shadows; the present fuses with the past, on Time Searchers: Ghost Relics.

1930 FRANKLIN STEELCRAFT PEDAL CAR-ALL ORIGINAL


    HERES A 1930 FRANKLIN STEELCRAFT PEDAL CAR THAT I RECENTLY ADDED TO THE TIME SEARCHERS ARCHIVE COLLECTION.  ITS ALL ORIGINAL HARDWARE AND PAINT.  A TRULY RARE FIND IN THAT WHEN THIS PEDAL CAR WAS MADE  DURING THE DEPRESSION,  NOT TOO MANY PARENTS COULD AFFORD TO BUY ONE FOR THEIR KIDS.  THIS PEDAL CAR IS BASED ON THE REAL FRANKLIN AUTOMOBILE.  A TRUE LUXURY CAR FOR THE DAY.  THE COMPANY PRODUCED CARS FROM 1902 TO 1934 WHEN THE COMPANY BECAME A VICTIM OF THE DEPRESSION AND WAS LIQUIDATED.  STEELCRAFT CO. THAT MADE THIS PEDAL CAR SURVIVED UNTIL 1937 WHEN THEY WENT OUT OF BUSINESS AND WERE BOUGHT BY MURRAY INC. WHO CONTINUED TO MADE PEDAL CARS UNDER THE MURRAY AND STEELCRAFT NAMES.
THIS WAS A PLEASANT SURPRISE FOR ME TO FIND THIS PEDAL CAR SINCE YEARS AGO, MY DAD HAD A 1931 FRANKLIN SEDAN IN HIS ANTIQUE CAR COLLECTION.-THE TIME SEARCHER.
