I've never had to pay more than $50 for an S/A front drumhub & that was at
swap & NOS w/box....but on Ebay in recent months they're getting about $50
+/-$10 or so. Up to the $90's for something NIB fresh.
BTW: There was an SW on Ebay awhile back that was listed as a '59. Were these hubs in fact made for several more years after '57 or is this one of those rare, highly collectible, (with hub-collection center-piece potential) date-number miss-strikes that the hubaphiles tend to watch for? .......no offense intended...
Does your Schwinn Superior have the plain logoless quadrant that often shows up on pre-war Schwinn 3spds?
