A couple days ago, guyfrmatl posted one of these. After seeing his, I just had to find one. He contacted me with where one could be found and low and behold, I have one now. Thanks guyfrmatl for the info and leading me to another one. This is a welcome addition to my "Mickeys" Thanks for looking.

ok kerry -- clue the rest of us in -- why is this so special -- information please on this little cutie
LOL Still researching them, They appear to be a reproduction of the 1930's Tippsco which was litho-tin, , but in cast. Haven't found any reference to them, seams are good , no screws , but the cast seems little rough, thinking maybe 1970's reproductions, but don't know anything for certain. Will update upon any future info. Just know one thing for sure, They're really neat and glad to have one. :-)
I didn't know Minnie was a "biker babe"!
