    EARLY CHINESE ATTEMPT AT MOTORCYCLE TOY
    Here we have an awful attempt by the Chinese to manufacture a friction motorcycle toy. The toy is Mint in the original box complete with it's original drivers head.
    The toy measures 4.75 inches in length and 3.25 inches in height without the drivers head on but 3.75, ALMOST 4 inches in height when you put the head on the driver, depending on how far you push the soft rubber down. This is a horrendously grotesque and should be part of every motorcycle toy collection.
    This lithographed tin friction bike reads MF115 on the right side of the front fender and MADE IN CHINA in tiny letters on the left side of the machine. The head is soft rubber and can be squeezed onto the stump of the drivers neck and viola, you have a motorcycle with a rider.
    This is one silly piece that I am currently selling from my collection. My book is shown in picture 11, and one of my fovourite toys, The Romance Cycle is pictured in picture 12. They are
    NOT
    part of this auction and not for sale at this time.
    Good Luck
    Be safe and Stay safe
