Bearing and felt retainer
Bearing and felt retainer for the quickly detachable rear wheel hub, PN 37-1043 (also W1043).
This is the bearing and felt retainer for the quickly detachable (QD) rear wheel setup, listed in the parts books as 37-1043 and previously as W1043. It sits down in the hub, keeping the wheel bearing seated in place while the felt washer behind it holds grease in and keeps road grit out of the bearing race.

The catalog shows this part across QD rear wheel figures spanning 1960 through 1969, both the U.S.A. and non-U.S.A. versions of that figure. Beyond that, the record doesn't spell out which specific models it goes with, so if you're chasing this one down for a rebuild, best to check it against your hub before ordering.
If you're pulling a QD rear wheel apart for a bearing service, this retainer is one of the small parts worth inspecting closely — a tired or cracked one will let grease work its way out and grit work its way in, which is no good for the bearing behind it.
