The frame stands out for the movement and importance of its mouldings: the semicircles in the centres of the sides and the widening of the corners are reminiscent of Baroque models.

A four-wheeled, single-seat, front-mounted gear shifter with two levers (one on each side, one for brakes and one for movement) and a front-mounted acetylene headlight. The front axle is foot-operated for cornering. It is very similar to vehicles known as “Irish Mail”, which were derived from the railcars used on the tracks for the construction and maintenance of railways.

See, for example, children's examples in the AC McClurg and Co. catalogue; the 1938 Irish Mail Deluxe Racer by another company; or the Ben Hur Racer Irish Mail hand-car of 1920.
