Tubular? rim

I'm putting together a bike for a friend. I have a 27" front wheel here, with deep, straight sides. As I was cleaning up what appeared to be glue, I began to wonder. Could it be a tubular rim. Unmarked. Old. Concentric grooves in the rim wall. And upon close inspection, unhooked. But much deeper profile than your standard tubular rim. Can I trust a clincher on it?
