Old ford hub emblem

[Guest Orim77]

Found this by an old trash heap and burried all over the area are rusty car parts, been trying to figure out what year n what it came from clostest i got was hub grease cover but this would have been a top piece? Not a whole hub cover, idk whatever it is the whole vehicle is burried ?

So it is from a hub? So crazy that the parts for this is scattered about n burried

Do you know what the R means on bottom? Others ive searched have different letters

My father in the 1930s & 40s would get old cars for nothing, bring them home, burn them.

Getting the wood and upholstery out increased the scrap value and get more on the truck.

Maybe you solved that letter thing.  I do know the earlier Ford cars were not called model "T".  They had models called R, S ,N, and I forgot the others

I've always been told the small letters (and not all were letters; I've seen caps with small stars and perhaps other emblems) indentified the company who made the cap, as Ford had multiple suppliers for these parts.
