Yet another !!!IT CAME FROM EBAY!!! find.
Bought this one in a lot, because the lot was cheap. Didn't realize it was anything different from the eBay pictures. Opened the box to do a quick inventory and found this odd thing.
Only markings on it are "36-13", as in 36 holes for up to13ga spokes.

It is smooth bore, no oil cap, and has this odd groove around the brake side bearing. The inside diameter is smaller than the Bendix "Flying B". The bore is smaller, maybe like the Bendix 70 hub...
Finish and stamping are leading me to believe it to be Bendix. Has anyone else seen one and/or positively IDed it??

How about a CCM hub out of Canada? They are made by Hercules.
I know I have seen your hub before and it's driving me nuts.

It is a Marrow from the forties. I knew I had a few of these before. Some models had smaller hub shells.

I hadn't thought of that one yet.
I don't have my CCM hub in front of me for a picture, but here's one from eBay.

From what I remember, the CCM hub I have has that same extra long brake flange as well.
