… Identification needed on this 1930’s Oldsmobile Wire Wheel Hubcap, outside dia is 7 ¾”, inside dia is 6 5/8”.

 

 Has been a wall-hanger for decades, not getting ready for evil-bay.

 

Thank you, Ric

Here is a page of Oldsmobile logos.  Looks like 1931 - 32 would be the closest.

Center emblem design is 1929-1930.

… Thanks guys for the replies; sorry I'm having problems replying and editing my posts.

 Fleek, I did a paste-up to better isolate the Olds Emblem renderings you posed here and then added a photo of my Hubcap center all to better compare them all.

 The 1930 Radiator, Emblem matches but I don’t know if that translate to what Olds used for their Hubcap center?

 Isn’t it unbelievable how often they retooled their Emblems; I guess the management wanted to keep their Tool & Die Makers busy.

Thanks again, Ric

Even more amazing is how often they reverted back to a previous logo. Check out these center caps they used  for the 1986 Toronado with wire wheels. Look familiar? Yes they are not exact, but the family resembalance  is still evident  50 years later.
