Elster Hayes rim reproduction information wanted

[alsfarms]

Can anyone here share some information regarding Elster Hayes and the rims he built?  What years did he build them?  Did he build more than the single lock ring style that is found around in our antique auto hobby?  Does anyone have or know of any spare 27" and 28" lock rings to fit the Elster Hayes rim?  They are a nice simple design!

Hi there I have one of the Oakcrest machine shop info booklets  titled Automobile wooden spoke wheels cost $ 1.00  I have a set of his wheels on my 1912 McIntyre  which I purchased from them in the early 1980's.There is not a date on the booklet but it is done on a type writer. One last thing the name is Elster C. Hayes. Hope this helps.  Peter

Hello Peter,  Thanks for your response with a bit of information about "Elster Hayes".  I guessed at the first name incorrectly with Ulster.  Does the booklet you have list an address?  If so I would give it a long shot and see if the business or derivative may still be open for business.
