Dirk,

Your hub is a Maxi. Pre-dates Maxi-Car - before World War II, these were the preferred hubs in the French technical trials (Vintage Bicycle Quarterly issue 3 will cover the trials).

See the flats on the cone? Maxi are standard cup and cone hubs, albeit very nice ones. Maxi-Car are very different.
