A mystery (to me) hub

[dnc1]

I posted pics of this in the thread relating to my friends Rambler acquisition.
Is it a Rambler hub, or is it something else altogether?
I hope you lovely people can enlighten me!

Thanks in advance.
Darren.

Is that the pre Model A design @Jesse McCauley ? If so I guess I need to read the ND hub thread?

Yessir, the first generation of ND brake, didnt so much stop as much as it slows.

Thanks @Jesse McCauley. Am I likely to find any markings anywhere on it?
Any great value to it, if working?

Wellllp-
The text will tell you something if still present on the face of the brake arm, I’ve had a number of different ND patterns as well as an Iver script and I want to say I’ve seen other partnered companies.

I will say upon second look this stepped hub pattern is new to me, none of the Controller hubs I’ve had have shared this feature as I recall, thouuuugh my recall is ever fading.

Its a early ND hub brake. The controller brake arm is on the sprocket side.All N D coaster hubs, the brake arm is on the other side as most are. Except the early Eclipes morrow hub from 1899
