January 1931?    :shruggy:


Wow, these must have been the original prototypes, 35 years before they were released, gotta be worth a lot!! :smilielol:

Does this help?


This might do it, there should be a year code stamped somewhere before the date 1 31.  Could be since these were sand blasted and restored, maybe the year code might have been lost if it was not too legible to begin with? is that a possibility?

The year should be under the "M".
Here's another pic of a date code if this helps. This one is 4-11-70. The "0" under the "M" is the year.

BTW, if you have any April '70 dated wheels, I'd be interested!  :yesnod:  :cheers:

Also, there should be a 7-digit part number behind the valve stem. What is the part number on your wheels?

Not mine yet, may pick them off this guy, but trying to find out his date code.  Would be an extra plus if they were close to build date.
