Summary[edit]

Description

A sturdy motorcycle toy, tagged A643, produced by Karl Arnold & Co. Modelled after the German Zundapp and BMW flat twins of the late 1930's. Produced from 1935 to 1955. Lenght 20 cm. Clockwork motor with a separate axle from the rear wheel to a flintstone in the oversized headlamp makes it glow in the dark.

Produced in this civilian version in two basic colours, red or blue. Military versions in camouflage colours were also available. After the war these 'Wehrmacht' models tagged A754 disappeared from the catalogue.

In the 1950's Arnold used the same mold with a new print to modernize this old workhorse. The gimmick with the sparkling headlamp was discontinued in this model that is tagged A560.
