Fascinating information. Thank you for sharing it.

The subject of car tires came up on "American Pickers" when he guys were negotiating buying a caste-iron Michelen Man air-compressor novelty item primarily used in Europe back in the teens/twenties. They started talking "early tires," and that's when I discovered that tires were initially white (really off-white).

I'm almost embarrassed to admit I have learned a lot of arcane information watching "American Pickers" and "Pawn Stars." I guess some reality TV show have some redeemable value.

as always
