Default crank pulley issue

My father inlaw recently purchased a 1929 tudor in non running condition. I rebuilt the carb and when I was setting the clearance between the rotor and distributor cap I was using the fan blade to spin the engine around and as usual there was some resistance in doing so do to compression in the cylinders and all of a sudden the fan blade started free wheeling. looking down at the crank pulley I could see it spinning but not the crank shaft. I removed the crank shaft pulley bolt and it appears to have a sleeve over the crank shaft and the pulley rides on the sleeve and does not appear to have a key way. It looks like the sleeve sits just slightly past the pulley which would prevent the crank bolt from tightening up against the pulley. Is this some sort of accessory that might be missing a washer. I don't see any of the vendors offering anything like this in the catalogs maybe some one has run into this before or should I just put a stock pulley on the car. thnks Jim
