I bought this Man On a Motorcycle at a garage sale, I think it was made in the 40's and 50's? Anyway, the material feels like a resin with hard rubber tires and steel spokes rims and measures about 6" in diameter, the motorcycle measures 18.5" long and with the man sitting on the seat it measures about 13.5" tall. Emboss on the license plate it has APR 577 also on the bottom of the foot it's signed either Bin or Rin it's hard to read it. I think the motorcycle is a Harley Davidison or an Indian Cheif? If you have any information on this item I would appreciate it. Thank you, Jim.
Toy MotorcyclesThe earliest antique toy motorcycles sprang out of the same German tin toy …
Very cool!!!! Love it!!!!
Jim, you have a nice item but it is a reprodution. Not trying to make you mad just being honest like you ask.
I think officalfuel is right, that this is a contempory item. I remember seeing these in our local Hobby Lobby about 10 yrs ago. Reproduction might not be the right term, as these were never made before. Modern decorator item would be more appropriate.Here is a similaar type item still available

I agree with rocker and official. I too saw these at Hobby Lobby and similar stores in the last 10- 15 years.
