The definitive answer is... It is an accessory hubcap. Part number 68-1150-B. From the 1937 Book... "Originally released in 1936 to be used with a special wheel with chrome plated spokes, it apparently found popularity with people who liked the look of having the painted wheel spokes between the hub cap and the wheel trim ring. This hub cap came only with the INDENTED "V8"and circle like the 1936 standard equipment hubcaps. It appears in the 7/27/36 accessory list and even some later lists, but not in the 1936 Chassis Parts List.
Neat!! Thank you for the info v8fordman. I appreciate it! The knowledge on the Ford Barn never ceases to amaze me.

This style of 1936 Ford Hubcap was never offered in Australia. Unfortunately, I don't have one in my display of Ford Hubcaps.
Yep, that is exactly what mine look like front and back sides.

I have one of these early 1936 caps in stainless and two that are chrome. A couple of more would be nice.

I have a set of spiders on the car now and would like to occasionally change out for a different look.
