Wheel Restoration - Dating the Rims

Morning.

Yesterday we sanded the rims to get rid of the last bits of rust.  I noticed a punch mark on the rims and read up on it.  According to Bruce Palmer, both rims of my WL were manufactured in JANUARY 1941!  Here are some photo's.



The photo of my WL rim indicates:
  •  that the rim is a Kelsey-Hayes rim made in the USA;
  •  that the rim was manufactured in 1941 (the 41 stamped to the left of the rim size);
  •  that the rim was manufactured in January (the 1 stamped to the right of the rim size).
