Item Description

This listing is for ONE (1) PACKAGE of 2-Wheels. 1965 Vintage Aurora 1/24th 1/25th Scale 5/8" WIDE BRASS, 3-SLOT SLOTTED, 5/40 THREADED WHEEL SET. Very Rare to see so fresh & clean. Very nice cards look great but have typical plastic fade. K&B Manufacturing Corporation, Downey, CA; a subsidiary of Aurora Plastics Corp. Great for display or use as tires seem to be pretty pliable and certainly usable to restore old larger scale slot cars. As they are rubber and old, Do Not Expect Super Modern Performance. More so a really good looking vintage set of rubber.
