Teens or 1920's Buick straight 8 screw on hup cap

Other some very minor dings and scratches the hub cap in good condition. I think this is an aftermarket item from the 20's. But that just a guess. I'm asking $35 plus shipping.

First, Buick did not build a straight eight until the 1930s. Second, I don't think it looks like a Buick hubcap at all. 

It is not a common one. Could be some other car with an eight cylinder engine? Or an after-market replacement that had a symbol resembling a carmaker's hubcap. Even in those days, after-market manufacturers had to avoid trademark infringements.

I think I have seen ones like that before, so I suspect it is likely original to some marque, I just have no clue what. The style of the hubcap suggests that it is most likely mid to near late 1920s.

Accurate measurements of size and thread counts would help identify what it might fit.
