Tom, I am not 100% sure about their exact range of models but I can confirm that Scheeren was a german company from our capital Berlin. There was a Weltmeister (World Champion) and a Standard version of their rims. I believe the Weltmeister was the wood-filled version while the other ones were not. The company does not exist anymore and they also manufactured hnadlebars and stems. I am looking for a stem constantly on ebay but they hardly ever pop up, even here in Germany. Older guy and former track racers on this list also should have some knowledge first hand.....

Checking the archives, I found some information about Scheeren rims, but not the specific information I was after. I have couple of questions about them. What was the country of manufacture? And I have a pair, though I am not sure that one is the same as the other, but they sure look like a match. One is labeled Scheeren around the valve hole, about three spoke holes away is the remains of another decal that has only "Sc" on it with the rest removed, and it has a decal reading "Standard" opposite the Scheeren decal. The other rim has only Welfmeister (does that make them German?) on it. My question on the rims is whether these are the same: the one with only the "Weltmeister" on it missing the Scheeren decal and the one labeled "Scheeren" missing the Weltmeister decal?

As always, thank you.

Cheers.
