#NP-7 - Champion Cast Iron Motorcycle - ca. 1910 - $195.00
This outstanding motorcycle toy was cast in two vertical halves,
joined by the rivets holding the wheels in place and one through
the motorcycle seat. Both wheels turn. The word "CHAMPION"
appears on both sides of the gas tank. Though most of the original
paint has worn off over the past 90+ years, there are still hints
of it remaining... some flesh color on his face, olive green
on the motorcycle, and perhaps a reddish bronze color on the
wheels, though I might be trying to read too much into some pretty
meager hints on the wheels. At any rate, other than the above
described paint loss, this scarce piece is in beautiful condition,
and I believe any collector would be proud to own and display
it.
