What Year Were New Departure Hubs Black

Look Ma, No Hands!
Hi,
I wondered what year the New Departure Hubs were Black? I have been told they are prewar and just wondered what year exactly.
Thanks
 
War time i believe. Early 40's? Don't think 39, though. Was due to the whole collection of metals and such for making practically everything from shells to bombers to you name it. I am sure someone on here knows approximate start/stop months year.
 
New Departure Black hubs produced only from early 1942 thru late 1945. 1946 bikes may appear with them as the bicycle manufacturers were using up their inventory.
