Can anyone identify this wheel?

...here's a start (but you probably already know this) : drop center rim = 1929+, 40 spokes is HD and Indian at least, rear wheel. That's all I got! ;-)

I’m going to say Henderson.

A picture of the center profile of the hub would give some clues. Schwinn changed their hubs to Timken tapered roller bearing in 1924 so the profile of the Hen/Ex hub looks like an 'hour glass'. The rim is not a Schwinn drop center type with the rolled outer edge.

Here is another picture showing the center. The smallest part is 1 1/2" in diameter.

Thank you guys for replying. Learning new things about this stuff is one of my favorite parts of the hobby.

One more peculiar thing for me is no branding on the tire. 20201002_085715.jpg20201002_085727.jpg

I just looked in my parts books, and at a Schwinn hub and it's not Hen/Ex. I also looked at an Ace hub (not that), so I'm guessing an Indian hub if it does have Timken bearings. I think only Indian, and Schwinn used Timken bearings in those days.

I think I have figured out that it is for '29, '30 101 Indian Scouts. ...according to listings on Ebay

Thanks for returning with that information, kehughes.
