Dayton Rubber Mfg. Co. (embossed on the tool in the second photo) manufactured tires. I found some references to and ads for airless tires.

I have found that searching period trade journals via Google Books is a good source. Sometimes I set date parameters - January 1, 1900 to December 31, 1930.

I would do the following searches in Google Books:

"Dayton Rubber"

"Dayton Rubber Mfg."

"Dayton Rubber Manufacturing"

Have fun.

Very interesting result - TDayco began in Dayton, Ohio as the “Dayton Rubber Manufacturing Company” (DRMC). The year was 1905.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.
