Tim and Ted,

You could be right the hand brake wheel in the photo
of the car has 5 spokes and a ring evenly spaced
between the rim of the wheel and the center of the
rim.

The members of the wheel are also fairly slender.

Were there any other wheels that looked like this?

At least at the end of all this we can update the file
on the STMFC website.

The above set is listed under "Ukeco" on the
Walthers web
site, in case anyone has tried looking for it.

Off the top of my head, I'd say Equipco.

It looks like either the more unusual of the two

Universal hand wheels

of the era (M2049) or a Ureco U-528 hand wheel.

Almost impossible to

discern these hand wheels from behind and even

harder without a clearer

photo.

Ted Culotta
