Removable (Michelin type) tyres with a valve were popular after 1891. These are Michelin, not the Dunlop type.

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland] I think Mr Eblana begged borrowed or stole from Mr French ... There is a Bank Building with a tower like a rocket on the left in the distance (see note). Built "c. 1896" according to www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.500220720134753.1073741... Ed. Being restored now - www.businessfirstonline.co.uk/articles/andras-hotels-to-r...
