Wheel Question??

[JimRoy]

What would a set of 26" wheels like these bring $$$? They have a Bendix 36-11 front hub and a Morrow 36-10 rear hub. 11g spokes and US Royal tires?

What year is the rear hub? Letter and number?

L1. January 1942

The rear wheel with the Morrow brake ( 36-10 Eclipse hub shell )and L1 ( 1st quarter 1942 date code) assuming it is all completely original WWII Military under the repaint ( including rim, spokes and nipples), I have seen go for upwards of $350.00 and possibly more to a motivated buyer. The front wheel to be WWII Military original would have a 36-10 Eclipse hub also, not 36-11 Bendix. It would bring a lot less.

They were assembled with the hubs I mentioned, new 11g spoked, trued straight and round, painted and new US Royal tires. They would make a good set of wheels for a Military tribute bike build. I'm just curious what a set of wheels like this would sell for?

I spent at least $500 assembling all the correct parts and pieces you have there - and another $200 or so for lacing, blasting and Powdercoating...

Well, if the only original WWII Military part on these wheels is the rear Eclipse hub and the remainder of the parts were put together from new and/or used non- WWII parts, then the pair of wheels as is would by my estimation have a value of between $200.00 - $250.00. Most of the value would be in the rear hub, which could bring alone $150.00 or maybe more to someone that needs an original L1 36-10 Eclipse hub for their G519 restoration.
