Not sure we have a tire thread and this is a tube.:laugh: I have taken many original wheels apart and never seen a tube like this. Pretty cool with raised letters. This tube was in a Rupp Dart wheel. Good Year tube.
Not sure the history of them, only seen them a handful of times, but on very much orginal/survior looking bikes. That pic is off some detailed shots of a 1972/73 in the gallery, There was a matching pair of them (the bikes) a few years ago that showed up which had the wheels on it too and some years ago there was what I remember to be a briggs bike that popped up on here with them too....I remember questioning the wheels. I don't know if they were grabbed here and there to get bikes done or what, I think the use of the plastic nylite wheels was about the same timeframe as the one above.......right about when minibike sales was going south.
I think they redrilled the rear wheel assembly on those to the 4 bolt pattern ut:
Need help identifying this wheel. 5" split wheel. Non sprocket side has a steel lining for the drum brake that is in the picture. Sprocket side has a 3 hole pattern for the sprocket.
This wheel came with an old Huskee Trail Runner frame I got so idk if that helps.

@manchester1 Those are beautiful. Are they polished? Burnished? Some of each? It's hard to tell from the small image. I'm at the point of having to decide what to do with my Lil' Indian and Ruttman mag wheels and looking for suggestions.
Those wheels are burnished from Sam. cambo61. His work is amazing. He has a ad in the for sale section for burnishing and has a ton of photos. You should see these Taco wheels he did for me. @Tom S.
