Guest Jeff west Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Confused at the stamping of the logo. Possibly a mis-stamped center cap? Or something different altogether? Curious as to what I have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwells Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Aftermarket cap from back in the day. They used 'Fool' rather than 'Ford' most likely to avoid legal action for copyright reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeff west Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I thought it looked like fool. That's funny. At least I'm not one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 They also made an aftermarket cap with the word, "BOOL" on it. Saved them from the copyright laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Henderson Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Fool or Bool, it just depends on how you read it. I don't believe there is a separate one for each. Rusty because they had a cheap one layer thin flash plating right over the steel. Some were cad plated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-mman Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Sometimes the script word was F88D. This continued into the 1950s onto cheap wheel covers. And yes, always cheap flash plating, never stainless steel. Another way they kept the price down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caddyshack Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I have a complete set of screw on Model T caps with the same "Bool" or "Fool" script. J.C. Whitney used to sell these years ago. I have not seen these on Model A caps. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41 Su8 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I have a complete set of these for a '28-29 Model A. They look like they were never on a car. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
