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. Highly detailed including Tipp logo on the gas tank, visible motor, tires marked "Dunlop Cord/935x135." Works well. All-over moderate paint wear with paint nicks/scratches and some aging to the paint. Both wheels have some oxidation but this appears only on the left side (with key), none of this appears on right side of the toy. Overall still VG and less than ten of this toy are known in all original condition. One of the Holy Grails of Disneyana.
