Well, now I know more than I did before, so that's a good thing. I've always heard those single rib styles referred to as M/T Raders, but this is the first I've actually seen it on the wheel as proof. Obviously, Mickey made a deal with Rader. I'm guessing he bought a mold and later (by '65) modified it for the 3 ribs, like my set. Mine are merely cast "M/T 1965" inside the rear of one spoke. No more mention of Rader. (sorry, no picture) Wish I had a digital camera.
Good luck finding someone who is comfortable tackling the restoration of those. I'm guessing those are more of a '62-'63 vintage.
