Eatons were a large department store, based in the larger cities in Canada. There were some WONDERFUL finds in their stock piles outside (in the chilly snowy winter weather). The former owner’s earliest memories of it are from about 1957 in Westlock (near Edmonton). Someone on eBay was selling a 28” wheel with a 3 speed hub …any guesses to how much it ended up going for?
