Help with ID some shop basement finds

Craig Marrow is selling the same tires on eBay. Manta Ray and others as he says, but these were not used on the Manta. I say wheel chair style tires, smooth rounded slicks like those I have never seen on a bike.

Agreed. The only other possibility I thought of is a Sulky

The 24 inch slicks were used on the rear rims of the Schwinn Town and Country Tri-wheeler adult tricycles.

Nah.... Popular bike back in the day and I never saw one with those tires at my local Schwinn Shop or in front of the grocery stores. The dealer always had two T&C's sitting on the floor ready to go at moments notice and all had the black wall sports touring tires. Grandma didn't need no slicks on her grocery gitter. lol

Yep

24 x 1 1/4.

So 24" lightweight.

They must have made some. Why did this bike shop have 20 Pair?

And Town and Country trikes also.

G) Adhesive backed asbestos (?) bezels.
I thought they were old patch kits. NOT
Guess ?

Those look like the old hot patches -- clamp them patch side down on tire or tube, and then light the material that looks like asbestos -- lots of smoke, but they worked well.

I think you may be right...Camel brand?

Very possible -- both the patches and Camels smoked pretty well back in the day.
