Hubley Cast Iron “PATROL” Police Motorcycle Toy – Blue, c.1930s, 6¼”
Hit the brakes for a classic of early American toy history — a Hubley cast iron “PATROL” police motorcycle, produced in Lancaster, Pennsylvania during the 1930s. Cast in two solid halves and marked “PATROL” across the gas tank, this model captures the spirit of law and order on the open road. The officer leans confidently into the handlebars, his machine detailed with engine fins, fender braces, and a sculpted headlamp cluster reminiscent of Harley-Davidson designs of the era.
Painted in vintage blue enamel with red and silver disc wheels, this piece embodies the bold styling that made Hubley a legend among early die-cast makers. Designed for children but built like miniature machinery, these toys helped define the golden age of American metal casting. Today, they’re prized by collectors for their heft, character, and unmistakable charm.
Condition
Good vintage condition overall with scattered paint wear and small surface marks consistent with age and handling. The original cast seams and detailing remain well-defined. Wheels roll smoothly and all components are secure. The paint and wheel finish may show older touch-ups or color variation from factory examples, yet the piece retains excellent visual appeal and authenticity.
