Description from the seller

Very impressive and historically accurate scale model of the Daimler motorcycle from 1885, produced at a scale of 1:8 and manufactured by Franklin Mint. This model is a faithful reproduction of the very first motorized two-wheeler ever built by Daimler, generally regarded as the founder of the modern motorcycle.

The model is extraordinarily detailed and built from real wood, combined with metal and brass-colored mechanical components. The open construction wonderfully showcases the early engine concept with visible drive, gears, cylinder, and fuel system. The saddle is rendered in leather-look with a quilted diamond pattern, fully in keeping with the original design of the 19th century.

Because of the large scale (1:8), every detail is especially well displayed. This is not an ordinary scale model, but a museum-worthy collectible that is very interesting both technically and historically.

The model is in very good condition, with no breaks or missing parts. It comes from a private collection and has always been carefully stored. Ideal as a focal point in a collection, in the office, showroom, or study.
