Wire Wheel Identification

I am trying to identify the wire wheel in the picture. It appears to have a lock ring and the center cap looks like there are two holes for some sort of wrench to tighten the wheel on with. From the picture you can notice its on a Model T rear end.

House brand wire wheel, made by Wire Wheel Corp of America in Buffalo NY, today they are referred to as Buffalo wire wheels. That cap with 2 pin holes was called flush type. Wheel in the ad has a 30 x 3 1/2 clincher rim as used by Model T Ford and others. Your picture shows a lock ring rim which was offered in many sizes over the years, it may be 21" or 20".
