Title say's it all. I'm going to list it in the ads here but need to know who the manufacturer is.

Can you measure to see what size it is? A 20 inch wheel will measure about 19 1/2 inches across to allow for the rim to fit on.
Read on the lugs to see what they say. Check all of them as some could have been changed. The look of it suggests mid '20s. The wheel manufacturer probably supplied several makes of cars. Firestone was a well known maker of tires and wheels, but did not supply very many makes of cars. My Paige uses Motor Wheel which also looks a lot like that.
Another key measurement is the hubcap size and thread count.
Good luck!
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

Kenny, a lot of these wheels are stamped on the inside of the Fellow between the Tenons, you might find it there.

I did the checks Wayne requested. It's measures close to 21". A T hubcap screws on it ant the T axle fits perfectly.

Fred, I looked all over it for stampings and didn't see any.

Probably a wheel off a Franklin 1925-26 and put on the Model T hub.
