Great memory there, Dennis....I also seem to recall JC Penney's selling a Foremost brand.

I thought all the M/Ts had M/T cast in the back?

I'm pretty sure they did Verne, which is why I thought it could be some type of offbeat brand like a Foremost. Here's a list of brands i feel confident it's NOT:

American
M/T
E/T
Appliance/ A/P
International
Fenton

Which still leaves a pile of brands no one even thinks of today... pick up an old late 60's issue of any major car rag and you'll see a half dozen or more wheel ads for companies you never even hear of today... back then it seems like every street corner had a factory cranking out a copy of a torq thrust wheel. If you think figuring out who made it is tough, try finding 3 more to match it.

I agree Joe. I don't remember for sure if Keystones had their name on the backs, but I think they did? (on the cast wheels anyway)
