That would be a:

SCHWINN LAMINATED WOOD RACING RIM: New design, very light and strong. Takes standard 28" American racing tires or foreign racing tires. (Foreign tires are marked 27".) Retail Price: Per Pair .................$4.00, Part No. 4065

That all being said I would sell a NOS pair of more modern Italian wood rims for $100 plus shipping.
