When I encountered similar play in the wheel, it turned out to be a
worn stub axle, primarily at the inner bearing. The inner bearing
race "works" up and down on the axle and after 30, 40 or 50 years the
under side of the axle wears a couple thousandths. Check the
underside of the stub axle for a ridge where the bearings would be.
Your play may prove to be elsewhere but this was my recent experience.
