Had a pair of these wheels on our ranch, about 4 1/2ft tall by 1ft wide(pop can in pic for scale). From the book "150 Years of IH" they look to me most like the front wheels off a Titan, built in the teens. There's "IHC" cast into the center caps and also the center part that the spokes are rivited to.
Was curious what the collector(not scrap!) value of a pair of these would be? Couldn't be more than a couple dozen sets left in North America that didn't get turned into tanks for WW2???
These wheels were rigged onto a homebuilt stackmover here on the ranch years ago(30's), and a while back when we were cleaning up the place I moved 'em over a hill to a place where I was putting stuff I wanted to keep. The reason I say we "HAD" a pair of these was because this morning my #*$@$%# brother torched the rim off one of them so he could make a "fire ring"....GRRRRRR!!!!! Just curious how much that fire ring actually cost?
