Collectibles -> Transportation -> Motorcycles-> Harley Davidson
The Harley Davidson motorcycle has become an integral part of Americana and the pop culture of this country. Once the favorite bike of outlaws and renegades, Harley Davidson collectibles have gone mainstream and they are more popular than ever. There are literally hundreds of different Harley Davidson collectibles out there, and sometimes it can be hard to know where the real value is. Here’s an easy guide to finding the best Harley Davidson collectibles.
Motorcycles
By far, the most valuable and sought after Harley Davidson collectible is the motorcycle that bears its name. Whether it’s a chopper, or a regular edition bike, collectors can’t get enough of them and many of these bikes will sell for six figures at auction or at private sales. The older the bike the better, and it’s always nice to find one in good condition. However, some of the fun comes from restoration, so don’t miss a great opportunity if you come across a bike that needs a little repair.
Lighters and Pocket Knives
The next most popular and sometimes valuable Harley Davidson collectible are pocket knives and lighters. For lighters, look for a classic Zippo with the Harley logo, while simple pocket knives that have just the logo are also popular. There are hundreds of different designs and many private collectors will end up with dozens of these in their collections. These can be found at flea markets, garage sales and at online auctions. This is a great entry level collectible.
Die Cast Models
If you can’t get the real thing, a die cast model Harley Davidson collectible is the next best thing. These are intricate, scaled down models of the popular bikes and many of them will be hand painted and have moving parts. If you find one of these models that is still in its original packing, you’ll have found quite a deal. These are popular items at flea markets as well, and many can bring a pretty penny at auction.
Apparel
The next few Harley Davidson collectibles fall under memorabilia, and even though they may not have the same value as a 1969 Hog, they are still sought after by fans of the bike and collectors. One look at the streets of Sturgis can tell you just how many people buy and wear this apparel. Some of the older designs will have value, especially if the apparel is in good condition, but generally, this is more of a novelty item.
General Harley Davidson Collectibles
These cover a wide range of products, from salt shakers, to socks, to temporary tattoos and everything in between. You’d be surprised at just how many Harley Davidson collectibles there are out there and while these may only have emotional value, they are still a lot of fun to collect. Every once in awhile, you can even come across a figurine or a vintage collectible that actually is worth quite a bit of money. Keep your eyes open at garage sales and flea markets – you may just uncover a treasure!
