They must be rare! Maybe they are even earlier than the T.

I've seen some like that before, they were home made and not older than the past 10 years. Are those rusty or is that fauxtina?

These seem a bit pointless on a T. Are they one piece or has something been welded or brazed onto the standard T hub?

These are accessory hubcaps made for the 1926-1927 Model T wire wheels.They were/are being made by a guy here in Michigan and were/are being sold by the vendors such as Langs. I believe they are cast bronze or brass. They look great on speedsters.

But they're all the same. On the right side of the car they'll spin backwards.

Steve, just looking at them, I can not tell what is forward or backward.
I like accessories that look different and I am sure I would put them on one of my cars if they were mine. (Maybe a little clean up first)

are they cast metal ? What was the finish on them ? Are they for sake ?
