This is a really beautiful and neat little item, and I probably could have looked it up online somewhere and gotten a price estimate except for one thing-it is horribly broken on the backend. I don't know, I may be exaggerating, but it seems horrible to me. I've included the best pictures I currently have of the damages but I intend to try and get better and more descriptive pictures soon. Anyhow, it's a clear glass Jeep brand vehicle with a driver in the seat who looks like he's in the fast lane to hell or something. The vehicle has the word "JEEP" embossed on either side and the embossing on the bottom. There are also two smaller broken spots-one on the front end and one on the bottom. The right side rider is pretty much broken off. I don't have pictures of these just yet. Other than that, it's really charming. Thanks for any help, and I will put some more pictures up somehow of the damage later to further illustrate exactly what's taken off. I'm not even absolutely sure this was a toy, though the damage leads me to think that it is. Other than the broken parts, there aren't any cracks and it has a nice polish to it. Thanks again and take care, Emily.
