I purchased this one from the same wonderful dealer as the pig/warm meals all day rppc also listed today, and they're two of my favorite things found in PA. The man on motorcycle here--specifically an Indian motorcyle--appears to be a large tin litho toy, with riveted joints at his shoulder, waist and knee, which was propped against a dark fabric backdrop for the photograph; one thinks its owner was pretty proud! But while the toy itself is pretty cool (and I can't find an example of it out there), I think the photograph very much transcends its specificity to stand as a gorgeous and very striking image, just perfection, with the gesture of the hand reaching down, dead center, the best thing of all. LOVE.
5 1/2" x 3 1/4". Very good condition, unused back, all the more striking in hand. There is what appears to be a small chip just to the right of the toy on the backdrop--it is inside the image, not on the surface of the photo.
