I would like to identify the make of this 27" alloy clincher rim. There is
not much to go on.. It was on a Lambert (early 70's). Any ideas?

Weinmann was the factory spec, but for some reason that label looks
"Rigida-ish".

Sheldon Brown, Andrew Muzi or Mike Jacobowski would probably be able to
ID this pretty quickly- maybe post it in the rec.bicycles.tech newsgroup.

A quick google image search shows that the stamped dimpling was
something ya see on Weinmanns. Interestingly enough, the search showed
scaled up Weinmann rims with the same dimples for motorcycles:
