Chinese inner tubes, part 2

Vern

Well-known member
The 5 inner tubes that I was given have brass valve stems that are over 3 inches long. There’s no engraving on the stems as shown in the Judging Standards. The stems seem really wrong for my ‘28 roadster.
And now two of the inner tubes have developed cracks with a lot less air pressure than 34 psi. The blue label on them leads me to believe that they came from Coker, but I don’t know for certain.

Before getting carried away with inner tube details, you need to find a source of genuine 1929 air to fill those tubes! Otherwise, your restoration efforts will fall short!
