Check out this picture of this wheel. This wheel has springs all around the outside of the rim with a leather strap where the tire should be. Looks like an ealry attempt to go tireless...and have some suspension. I know this is probably a little earlier than most of the groups interest, but I thought someone may have seen one before. I would love to know manufacturer, and era. Check it out at
