We dug out from one of our boxes this little guy. I've been looking around the net, on and off, all day. It seems there's a variety of them. Almost all of them have solid wheels. The ones with spokes have the spokes only in half of the wheel. This has the spokes all the way to the rim.

Many have the Harley name on it, this one does not.

Many have a screw, or some sort of fastener, in the guys hip. This does not have one nor is there supposed to be one.

On the rear wheel fender, most have a second opening that this one doesn't. If the guy is facing to the right, it would be at five o'clock.

It looks like these, but not quite.

Maybe the wheels had rubber and they came off? But that doesn't explain the lack of the hip fastener... 20170905_204956.jpg 20170905_205008.jpg 20170905_205035.jpg 20170905_205050.jpg 20170905_205213.jpg 20170905_205241.jpg 20170905_205316.jpg 20170905_205338.jpg 20170905_205421.jpg

It's welded in spots: on the rear fender, and, I think, right where the two hands meet in the middle on the handlebars

Nice, even if it were a reproduction they are still neat little toys!
