@SideshowBob
They look superb, I'm jealous, it's incredible how light these old wheel sets are.
I love the tyres are they a pair and are they salvageable.
How about the all important bearing surfaces.?

Thanks mate, lucky find on ebay. Wasn't really after a wheelset but couldn't resist.

I think that they are too far gone in the rubber and side walls , Not tried any air in them yet.

How about the all important bearing surfaces.?

Not looked yet, Rear hub is silent and spins forever. Front is good but gritty.

I could do with a quality set of vintage 27 11/4 inch tyres, they are not easy to come by
I like that the your hubs have the original wheel nuts by the way, well if not original then definitely of the period.
