If it is a steel spoked wheel, I don't think they came with hubs, so your old hub would have been used.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

I believe it is made by Kelsey. If you look on the inside of the felloe it may be stamped Kelsey Wheel Company.

The spokes are aftermarket, the hub is not.
