Found it at the dump
I couldn't resist. I picked it up and put it down a few times, then it called to me. Now it's in my yard.

Sweet. Do you know how to ride this already, or are you gonna teach yourself?

That totally rocks.
One thing though, check that weld in the pic.
I do believe you have found yourself a Rutledge. I didn't know they built Uni's, but their 3 speeds are highly sought after in the C&V world.
If you are thinking about stripping her down and spiffing up feel free to shoot me a PM. I have some experience in frame painting.

I know a guy who learned to ride it in his middle age crisis; beats a sports car IMHO

There is a guy locally that just did his first Metric Century on a Unicycle. You can read about his ride here.

While on the subject of human powered vehicles, when Team Clydesdale was in Ocean City, NJ, two weeks ago we noticed the boardwalk was marked with a lane for "surreys." Bautieri asked what they were. Here's one, and you can own it for 4K.

They have some with 4 seats in VA Beach that you can rent, thought they would be excellent for a car pool

Kind of a cool looking rig actually, I wonder how heavy it is? You know add some decent gearing and a box to hold gear on the back, and you would have a very nice, tandem touring rig......
