I disagree with Pcampeau , it's not Tipo. It has a large radius fillet from the central barrel to the flanges, where Tipo was a smaller faster transition. On a Tipo, the bulge around the bearing to the left of the left flange, is also more bulbous with a rounded shape, versus the more sharp-edged tuncated look on this one.

The pictured hub is probably Victory or Triomphe. Of the two I'd lean toward Triomphe

Here's the Tipo (really Nuovo Tipo = "New Type", but everyone in the US shortens it to Tipo)

Shows what I mean by the bearing bulge being more rounded/bulbous.

Tipo, Victory, Triomphe were all a step or two down from the top of the line. Tipo was about a decade earlier.
