Item Description
2.5x9.5x6.5" tall toy with built-in key. 1930 by Tipp & Co. Germany. Considered to be the most desirable Disney toy, not only coveted by collectors of Disneyana but motorcycle and wind-up collectors as well. This example is complete and all original with no restoration. An estimated 18 of this toy are known to exist with only about 6 to 8 of those being all original. Highly detailed including Tipp logo on the gas tank, visible motor, tires marked "Dunlop Cord/935x135." All-over moderate to obvious paint wear with paint nicks/scratches as well as small spots/streaks of bare metal. Additional wear includes color rubs most notable on the right side motor area. Appearance still remains glossy. Works well. Overall VG. This was originally offered in Auction #194 but is being re-listed due to default of winning bidder. Still the only example we've offered in our 41 years of this outstanding toy.
