The toy may have had paint touch ups over the years, but I can't find any glaringly obvious patches under black light, so it may have been very early in its life. I also think there is a thin layer of clear coat sprayed on it, its hard to tell visually but the surface is slightly tacky. Still, this is a very hard to find original Hubley Popeye motorcycle in pretty good condition for its age. Please look over all photos for condition and feel free to ask for more.
