Wheelchair
notes: label: Description
content: Winslow Lamartine Fay (1848-1914) was born on an Ohio farm, attended Oberlin College, and opened a law office in Elyria, Ohio. He also established a factory to produce wheeled vehicles, several of which he had designed. Most notable was the “Fairy Tricycle” for women, children, and other chair users. That company would become the Worthington Co. around the turn of the century, and the Colson Co. in 1917. Colson built this Model K-112, chain-drive, hand-propelled tricycle wheelchair in 1928.
