AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very impressive and historically accurate scale model of the Daimler motorcycle from 1885, executed at a scale of 1:8 and produced by Franklin Mint. This model is a faithful reproduction of the very first motorized two-wheeler ever built by Daimler, widely regarded as the founder of the modern motorcycle.
The model is exceptionally detailed and constructed from real wood parts, combined with metal and brass-colored mechanical components. The open design beautifully showcases the early engine concept with visible drive, gears, cylinder, and fuel system. The saddle is made in a leather look with stitched diamond pattern, fully in line with the original design from the 19th century.
Due to the large scale (1:8), every detail is exceptionally well rendered. This is not an ordinary scale model, but a museum-worthy collectible that is highly interesting both technically and historically.
The model is in excellent condition, with no cracks or missing parts. Originating from a private collection and always carefully stored. Ideal as an eye-catcher in a collection, office, showroom, or study.
