To clarify, the second photo in post #18 ctlikon0712, this is a photo of some of my cast iron drums. Although the 5 spoke fronts are original, the two rear drums in the foreground are Plasmeter Brand drums.

I attached some photos of an original Model A Cast Iron Rear Drum without the hub installed. You will notice a raised band just outside the stud mounting holes of the Original Cast Iron Drums, replacement drums that I have seen do not have this raised area and are the same thickness across the face of the drum.

In my photo albums there are more photos of Original Cast Iron Drums, also Vince Falter's site fordgarage.com has great information, including Cast Drums.
