Franklin Mint manufactures this Daimler Reitwagen model in 1:8 scale, made of wood and copper, brown in colour, in very good condition.
Description from the seller
Extremely impressive and historically accurate scale model of the Daimler motorcycle from 1885, executed at 1:8 scale and manufactured by Franklin Mint. This model is a true-to-life reproduction of the very first motorized two-wheeler ever built by Daimler, widely regarded as the founder of the modern motorcycle.
The model is extraordinarily detailed and constructed from real wood, combined with metal and brass-colored mechanical components. The open design wonderfully showcases the early engine concept with visible drive, gears, cylinder, and fuel system. The saddle is made in leather look with a stitched diamond pattern, fully in keeping with the original 19th-century design.
Because of the large scale (1:8), every detail stands out particularly well. This is not an ordinary scale model, but a museum-worthy collectible that is of great technical and historical interest.
The model is in very good condition, with no breaks or missing parts. It comes from a private collection and has always been stored carefully. Ideal as a focal point in a collection, in an office, showroom, or study.
