Man on Motorcycle, Presentation at Ames Iowa, 1938 to Wallace Lawrence

About the Item

For those who loves motorcycles, here is a little gem. Beautifully cast and finished in a warm dark brown with hints of copper showing through, not quite what is referred to as "japanned" finish. Presented to Wallace Lawrence on 7/10/38 in Ames Iowa. It is in the form of an ash tray, but it was wisely never used for that. If you prefer to just enjoy the statue without the tray, that is just held on by one screw underneath and can easily be removed and mounted on any base of your choice. The piece is quite heavy and in exceptional condition. We are always hunting for antique statues of motorcycles, but they are indeed hard to find.
