For these tires ,skip Coker,go direct to the people who still make them:
Harper Machine&Manufacturing
1329 Dunbar Ave.
Dunbar , West Va.25064
(304)768-1147
Expect to pay around $100 per tire.
You'll need to call--they don't have inter-net,and if for a track bike be sure and tell them as this might make a big difference.If they are Track rims and narrow will regular sew ups work?Maybe some of the others have experence with early track bikes to share

>I want to refurbish an old 1920's track bike and am wondering if it is
possible to find tires 28" x 1" for such a bike. These are the tires
which have the innertube and tread as a one piece unit. Unfortunately,
the bike is missing the headbadge. It's a lighweight lugged bike that
weighs about 19-20 lbs. These are the tires which are similar to sewups
that are not clincher, but rather compress around the rim. I think they
were applied using some type of heat to expand the rubber. They are like
a heavy innertube with a tread pattern on one side. The bike has wood
rims that are not clad with steel. The rear wheel is twisted and will
have to be replaced.
