The hub is a Styria-made Sears-branded AW. It's dated at 64. It's amazing if the bike is actually this old. The rear wheel was rebuilt BADLY and the rear rim does not match the front..

Sears did not sell hubs or wheels; they sold bicycles. All the evidence indicates your rear wheel began its career as part of a Sears bike and was later swapped into the Flying Jet.
