Vintage Motorcycle Rear Wheel Assembly

This item is a vintage motorcycle rear wheel assembly, complete with a tire, spoked rim, drum brake hub, and sprocket. The tire is a 'DURO' brand with a knobby, off-road or dual-sport tread pattern, indicating its use for various terrains. The rubber appears aged with some light dirt and wear, but the tread depth seems reasonably intact, suggesting it might still be usable or suitable for a vintage restoration. The rim is a spoked design, likely steel or aluminum, showing visible signs of oxidation, dirt accumulation, and surface wear consistent with age and use. Many of the spokes are present, though their tension and condition are not fully discernible. The central hub houses a drum brake mechanism, characterized by a large, circular metal plate with an adjustment arm extending from it, indicating a mechanical braking system. The brake plate itself shows scuffing, grime, and some surface corrosion. Adjacent to the brake hub is a large chain sprocket, with visible teeth, indicating that this is the rear drive wheel. There is also a small, unidentifiable part (possibly a bolt or small bracket) on the drum brake cover which is held on by what appears to be a cotter pin. The overall condition suggests a used, unrestored component from an older motorcycle, possibly from the mid to late 20th century. The quality of craftsmanship appears to be standard for motorcycle components during that era, prioritizing function and durability.
