I didn't think I could resume the project until next week. Our postal...

I'm rebuilding the wheels on my 1913 touring due to loose spokes and felloes, as well as large cracks, etc. This caused me to wonder about the color of the wheels and the rims. Are the wheels the same as body color? Were the rims cadmium plated or galv, or were they also originally wheel or body color? I don't find anything about this in Bruce's...
