This is off my 1924 tourer fitted with loose lug rims like early 20's T's as used on early 20's T's in USA.
Two of the lugs had come loose/worn so the rim had moved on the felloe. The bridging lug had stopped it rotating, but it had displaced enough for the brass valve stem to wear through and deflate the tyre. There went a perfectly good, never punctured Olympic butyl rubber tube, the ones that hold air.
