    Hi Everyone! Old Firestone Wheel. Not sure how old it is, and more importantly what it came off of. Any info is appreciated! It is super heavy! The tire material is not rubber, almost feels like actual stone!

      Wow. At first glance I coulda/woulda swore that thing was propped up in *my* front rust/flower garden...if only I was so lucky?!! <lol>

      The tire is probably rubber but is solid not pneumatic. They tend to harden a bit.

      this is a solid rubber tire used in the teens and 20's heavy duty trucks.I have a few and they do get hard as a rock,I bet they rode that way too!Brand of truck would be hard to say.

      @gargoylecollector Thanks a bunch! I have been clueless since buying this as to what it was off of and period. Very cool! What is the approximate value on these wheels? I paid $30 for it.
    5. gargoylecollector gargoylecollector, 3 years ago
      that's a good price for a nice yard ornament!Hang on to it!

      here's a good photo of what a big truck in that era would have looked like-
