Subject: [CR] Early wood rim "clincher" tires


Listers, Listerettes, and all ships at sea;

Looking for a source for the early clincher tires that go onto wooden rims with the metal "bead band". The rims are the standard 28" wooden size, and the tires should be all black, fairly wide, maybe 35 to 40. This would be an early time-line crossing item, and I am finding precious little info and no sources for repros on my own. Perhaps it is because I really don't know how to ID/describe them properly. Any help is greatly appreciated. I assume I would be able use a modern tube, but will graciously take feedback on that possibly naïve notion.
