MOTORCYCLE, that is an antique replica of a cast iron toy motorcycle. The motorcycle is green and has a driver in a uniform of an officer of some kind. The gas tank has "Champion" on it. It measures 4 3/4 inches long, is 3 inches tall and is 1 1/2 inches wide. Cast-iron toys  were produced from the 1920s through the 1940s by firms like the Pennsylvania based Hubley Manufacturing Company and the National Sewing Machine subsidiary Vindex.
