British Wolseley Threaded Hubcap

[TexRiv_63]

Need help with identification of this old Wolseley Motor Co. threaded hubcap? It is heavy solid nickel plated brass, 4" in diameter with male threads. I would like to know when it was made and what type of vehicle it was used on plus any other background on Wolseley. Thanks for any help you can give.

It looks like it might be for a 1920's Wolseley with Rudge Whitworth wire wheels.

This hubcap site might help some. There's one close to yours & several others, but lacking date.

The name Wolseley Motors Ltd began in 1914 according to the wiki article. This was after connections were severed with Siddeley. They began operations in Canada about that time;.

 

I think the hubcap may be from one of their commercial vehicles. There is not much info with this photo but it look as if Wolseley may have had a connection with Isuzu in Japan.
