Data cut from Post #1
I would like to keep this to data from ads & catalogs so we can document these dates. Hubs on dated bikes can also be added as possible dates but I think hard dated ads and catalogs will be better as hubs did get changed out on many old bikes. Detailed pics of known hubs would also be a plus here on this thread as would exploded views of hub components to help people with repairs. Here are examples:.
1905 Corbin ad:
New Departure Model C rear hub & New Departure Model SM front hub:

SOMETHING GORGEOUS........ When coaster brakes were sexy!!!!!!
FYI. I know it's not pre-1933 but Rita Hayworth was one of my "Hottest Women Top3" in SJ_BIKER's post on the subject so for your viewing pleasure from 1940.
"When coaster brakes were sexy. Movie star Rita Hayworth sells the New Departure Coaster Brake. The ad is also promoting Hayworth's appearance in the 1940 movie, "Music In My Heart."
