Wore out three sets of tires already!
Hi Everyone, I bought this some time ago but there’s no headbadge. Looks like a Shelby sprocket but I’m not sure. The front hub is a blackout ND so maybe wartime era? I’m including a pic of a similar looking Shelby Flyer but it has brake calipers and a different stem. Maybe just an idea of the era based on the parts would help too. I like the stem shape.

**Just realized I can try to date the Morrow hub, I’ll check that later.

Good observation on the black finish New Departure hub! :D

Have seen similar black finish plumbing fittings made during the wartime austerity regime.

Since the U.S. entered the war in late 1941 would expect austerity finish products to date from the 1942-45 period.
