Hubley Harley‑Davidson 9" Side Car Motorcycle (Circa 1930s) – All Original Paint, Riders, Tires & Mechanism

on

This circa 1930s Hubley Harley‑Davidson 9" side car motorcycle is one of the most iconic cast‑iron toys produced by the Hubley Manufacturing Company of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1898, Hubley became famous for its realistic cast‑iron motorcycles—especially their Harley‑Davidson and Indian models—which remain some of the most sought‑after American toys of the early 20th century.

This classic green 9-inch Harley‑Davidson side car motorcycle is marked Hubley, 4B, and 1740 on the underside and survives in all‑original condition, including:

  • Original paint with no chips, cracks, repairs, or touch‑ups

  • Original rubber tires, marked with period‑correct branding

  • Original removable cop riders

  • Original handlebars

  • Fully functional clicking mechanism

The paint shows honest, light playwear, and the original marked tires remain in unusually fine condition—far better than typically found on examples of this age. Complete, untouched Hubley motorcycles with their riders and mechanisms intact are increasingly difficult to find, making this a top‑grade example for advanced collectors of cast‑iron toys, Harley‑Davidson memorabilia, and American transportation toys.

A superb, investment‑worthy piece from one of the most celebrated toy lines in Hubley’s history.
