my first thoughts were with Nan also, you MUST ck to see if it's lead based, which it probably is. In that case, you must paint over it, and then in your choice I don't thnk painting it will loose vlue. I watch some antique shows, and alot of items are refurbished and it adds value to it. I guess anyone can take paint off too to make it look aged. I think it would have more of a sentimental value to it too. Please show us a picture of it.

As a parent of three, one of whom put everything in his mouth, I do not think a resale value of $400.00 outweighs a child's safety. Lead poisoning is not worth the risk.
Why not sell the buggy and use the funds to buy something safe for the next generation?
