Motorcycle Pen Holder Appraisal

Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Pen Holder with Miniature Motorcycle

This item is a desktop pen holder featuring a miniature Harley-Davidson motorcycle and an accompanying pen, all presented on a rectangular black base. The base appears to be made of a solid, dark material, possibly marble or a heavy resin, with a polished or smooth finish. It measures approximately 6-8 inches in length and 4-5 inches in width, though exact dimensions are not provided. The base has an inset rectangular area where a small notepad or business cards might typically be placed, and a dedicated groove to hold the pen. Embedded into the base is a silver-colored plaque or emblem with the Harley-Davidson logo, specifically the 'Bar & Shield' design, indicating authenticity or official branding. Perched atop the base is a detailed, silver-toned miniature motorcycle model, which strongly resembles a Harley-Davidson touring or cruiser style bike. It features prominent details such as handlebars, a windscreen, a seat, engine components, exhaust pipes, wheels, and saddlebags, all rendered with a metallic sheen. The motorcycle appears to be made of a cast metal, likely pewter or a similar alloy, given its appearance and the typical material used for such collectible miniatures. The pen itself is also silver-toned, sleek, and cylindrical, with 'Harley-Davidson' elegantly inscribed along its barrel in a flowing script. Both the motorcycle and pen show no obvious signs of significant damage, scratches, or wear beyond what might be considered minor surface imperfections inherent to their materials or light handling. The overall aesthetic suggests a collectible or gift item, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, targeting enthusiasts of the Harley-Davidson brand. The craftsmanship appears to be good for a mass-produced collectible, with attention paid to replicating iconic motorcycle features.
