I got this wheel with a pile of drag bike parts. It has no markings, but I was told by a guy at a swap meet that it was for a motorized bicycle where the engine was in the hub. It's 23 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide. What do you think it's off of? Have any pictures of anything similar? Thanks in advance!
I think the guy was right, it looks a lot like an old Cyclemaster wheel. Here’s one for sale, complete with engine: https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/CYCLEMASTE...e&pageci=31dc969b-57f2-44fd-bc24-8a7a138a7d1d
I think you have your answer. I was going to guess the A O Smith Motor Wheel, but that is a solid wheel instead of a spoked wheel.
Damn, you guys are good. @Barni hit the nail on the head with the Cyclemaster. Here are some more pics. Seeing that it's silver, it's post-'52. Interesting piece!
It looks like those little “ fins” on the outside of the hub are fir cooling? Maybe? Good find! Bones
