General Information
Commonly used by clubmen in the UK in the 1950s.  According to the entry for this maker on Classic Lightweights, they had a ferruled valve hole in the 50s but were non-ferruled from the beginning of the 60s till the mid-60s, and the stamping changed to just FIAMME & ITALY from the early to mid-70s.

Although always referred to as 27" rims in the UK, they are actually 700/622mm.

Although very similar, the labels on these rims changed from black and gold on red in the 1950s to black and yellow on red from the 1960s.  The photos above show a pair of 32/40 hole rims from the 1950s.
