Strange Coaster Brake...

[bud poe]

Can anyone help identify this rear hub/coaster brake? Couldn't find any markings, but there are a few oil ports. Came on a 28" Victor diamond frame....Any help greatly appreciated!

Bump...
come on guys, anyone got anything on this thing? Looks like it might be 2 spd?

I can tell you it doesn't appear in the 85, 87 or 89 Victor catalogs and from that I would say it never appeared in any Victor catalog.

Can you post a picture from the rear so we can see the profile of the hub shell?

It looks like an Eadie.
I have one similar, but cannot get a pic of it at the moment.

Strange Coaster Brake Hub

Hello, Is it a Sturmey Archer Tri Coaster ? Did you clean the hub shell to look for markings ? Cool Hub !

I got my camera working.
I don't know much about them, but they seem to have a connection to BSA
and I have seen them in a few early 1900's Canadian supply catalogs.
Mine has the same oiler cover on the brake arm and the brake arm looks roughly the same.
There are different models. Yours might be some version of multi speed.

Thanks for the replies! I took a few more pics, I think mine is a multi-speed. Haven't looked for markings under the surface rust though...

doesnt look like an eadie, but some early motor bicycle hubs had gears did they not? maybe a motorbicycle forum might be able to help??
but a coaster on a motor bicyle would be a wierd idea too....
it is niether a 2 speed or single eadie coaster.
