Maybe someone was trying to balance the wheel.

I flipped the rear wheel around and placed it back in the drop out it to see if it is dished and I can tell by eye that is closer to one side than the other so it is over to one side more than the other. The wheel is straight and no hop but now I need to looks like move it side ways 2 or 3 mm.

Use 3 equal-sized soup cans and a stack of quarters on a table to check dish.

Thanks , that worked pretty well.. The last top quarter applied on stack would get pushed off on both sides when sliding stack towards hub ends , so I guess thats pretty close enough would you say ?.
