it is a model a few inches long
something to put on a shelf to look at
others may be able to speak to its monetary value

Ow, nice! A dérailleur! And '5 vis' cranks!
Mine's only single speed, although in its defense, it has its brake cables routed correctly.
Paid 30 cents for mine at a local goodwill store, but bikes tend to be cheaper here.

You can find these and other models on AliExpress. For that kind of money you should have one delivered on your doorstep. I do like them. They make much nicer desk accessories than macrame flower pots.

Seems that I found the same model as non-fixie's at a local "Man Cave" thrift store.
It has working brakes and drivetrain!
I would like to know where it was made.
