46 woodie Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Chevy, I looked up MW in the Encyclopedia of Motor Cars and it shows "M.W., see Wegmann". So I went to Wegmann and it shows "Wegmann, 1925-1926, This railway carriage builder also introduced a small 4/20PS car with a 4 cylinder 1016cc engine". Being 7 1/4" diameter I would doubt that it's from a "Wegmann". At first I thought Marmon Wasp but that was a race car with smaller hubcaps. There is a "WM" listed as a small Polish car made only one year, 1927 but never went into production. So the mystery continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I would suggest MW may stand for Motor Wheel. They were one of the big O.E.M. wheel suppliers , but this cap is possibly from something they made for trailers or possibly aftermarket for cars , similar to a General Jumbo wheel.

Hudsy Wudsy Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 so I guess that we've moved beyond Montgomery Ward, huh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Montgomery Ward would be a possibility. I know they retailed a number of European built motorcycles. I expect they also had a line of trailers so there is a chance they would have used branded hubcaps like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
