old chev wheels

[L Springer]

Can anyone give me any info on these two old chev wheels? I got them from my aunt who had them in her barn for years. They are wood spoke w/ Chev insignia. Tire size- 4.40 / 4.50 - 21. One is a Federal Pennant and the other is a Wards Riverside. I would be interested in year and possible worth. Thanks

The tire size is indicitive of 1925 through 28. The round spokes would suggest 1926 and earlier. 1927 Chevys may also have had round spokes but I don't know that. I do know in 1928 the spokes were oval.

I cannot say how far back that tire size was used.

Value would depend on what shape the wood and medal was in.

<span style="color: #3333FF">I`m guessing they are late 1920s. I think Chevy started the solid steel wheel in about 1929, so the wood spokes would most likely be 1928 or before.

Value, as with everything else, is determined by many factors, including how bad somebody wants them, and what condition they`re in. </span>

That I know of, Chevy had solid rims in 1925 and possibly earlier. The spoked wheels on my 26 were optional equipment. At the moment I am using the solid wheels and will put the spoked wheels on it when the car is painted. Whenever that may be.

I have seen spoked wheels sell for $100 apiece on ebay but they were in pretty good condition.
