Radio Flyer also produces scooters, tricycles, bicycles, horses, and ride - ons . The company was founded in 1917 and is based in Chicago, Illinois . </P> <P> Antonio Pasin started building wooden toy wagons in Chicago in 1917, selling them to area shops . He was working as a craftsman at the time, mostly selling phonograph cabinets, and built small wooden wagons to carry around his tools . After he received numerous requests from customers of phonograph cabinets to buy the wagons as well, he refocused his business on the wagons . His business grew until the Liberty Coaster Company, named in honour of the Statue of Liberty, was formed in 1923 . The demands for these original wooden wagons, dubbed the "Liberty Coaster," quickly outpaced production . Incorporating the mass manufacturing techniques of the auto industry, Pasin began making metal wagons out of stamped steel in 1927 . At around that time, the red wagons sold for slightly less than $3, or about $40 in 2016 dollars . </P>
