Tin Toy Racer Bike

This is a vintage tin litho friction military police motorcycle toy. The hunched rider of the military police motorcycle is decked out in a police uniform that includes a white helmet, red goggles, and even a pistol concealed in a waist holster. The back fender displays the full words Military Police, and the middle of the motorcycle and the helmet both display the letters M.P. (for Military Police). A tiny white metal panel on the bottom secures the two matching sides together. Plastic wheels are attached to each other by a thin metal bar. The friction mechanism has not been tested. There are minor signs of usage. It originated in 1970 in Japan. The condition is excellent for its age.
