The wood-rimmed wheels may not have been built at this factory. All the 1890 bikes had metals rims. I have also seen wood-rimmed wheels at the Wright Brothers bicycle shop in Dayton Ohio (the Wright Brothers of aviation fame).
I also liked the adjustable pocket-wrench, multitools (wrench, gage, and hammer).
