20s Buick Wire Wheel Hub Cover - need ID

[TexRiv_63]

Found this wire wheel hubcap, a google photo labels it as from a 1928 Buick model 54, is that correct? Is the brand name for this kind of wheel Buffalo? Was this same cap used on other years or models? Thanks for any assistance.

I think there are severel diameters of those hub:s.Look at this Austalian Hub Cap site.

Yes, A5 will fit 1928 Master Six Buick with 21" wire wheels. They are also known as "ASH" wheels and believe they were used from approx. 1924. I think they were available in A5 and A4 size. This piece only secures the wheel nut in place. The interchangeable / riveted brand plate suggets that also other car makers used it, but I have never seen any other than Buick.

This`s how the ASH caps looks,I have the smaller type on my 1924 4cyl Buick(proberly similar to A4 types) and also have a little bigger AHS- one(proberly A5 Buffalo type) that not will fit on my wheel.(Picture number 3 is proberly A5 size?)
