Morrow "v" Rear Hub ??

[ivrjhnsn]

Cleaning up my Mobicycle and this is the rear hub on it. A Morrow "V" . Small barrel with interesting internals.
I have never seen one. Is there a thread on here somewhere with info ? What years they were made. I don't see the typical date code stamped in it.

Any info or where to find it? Thanks

I'm currently adding some info to my Morrow page
http://fattiretrading.com/morrow.html

On the page you will see a scan of the 1937 Island catalog which shows the Morrow V. As I do more work to the page, I will try to determine the year that the V was first produced. What year is this Mobicycle?

The bike is circa 1928, but was restored in the 30's (that's another story).
It's the first time I've seen a Morrow V hub.

I just took apart a wheel from a 1927 Schwinn Excelsior, and was puzzled by the hub.
It was covered in old grease, so I thought it was a New Departure by the size of it.
But when I took a look at the brake arm, it said Morrow?
So once I got the gunk off of it, sure enough, it was a Morrow. But, not like any one I had seen before.
Morrow V?
All of the internals are completely different from the typical Morrow hub.
It looks like the brake arm would be the only part that could possibly be compatible with the typical Morrow hub.

Definitely an odd one, for sure.
