Subject: [CR]Intro date of Bullseye sealed hubs?

Anyone have any definitive dates or memories of when Bullseye sealed bearing hubs became available? I'm pretty sure that they were available before '83 but I'd love to know exactly when they first became available. Also if anyone has any images of early/original hubs, I'd like to see them, also I'm curious to know if they came with skewers and if so what they looked like.

I'm trying to date a set of wheels I just acquired, they have the older oval sticker on the shells.

Many thanks,
