Can anyone identify this Ford Hubcap for me? It looks genuine, but is very unusual. Any help appreciated.

Looks like something British that made its way down to you.

those two points on the oval do not comply with the ford logo design, so aftermarket i would presume. but, heck, i thought you were the hubcap guy?

Yep, I am a hubcap guy, but am not familiar with British or European Fords. My specialty are the American Fords. I posted the same question on the Model A Forum, and got a response from Bick from New Zealand. Bick came up with the correct answer, the 1932 to 1934 Y Model Fords. I don't own a Y Model Ford, but was asked the question. Looking at the quality of the hubcap, I knew that it had to be an original Ford product, and not a Repro. Problem solved. The above picture shows the small British built Y Model Ford which have these hubcaps.

Did quite a few thousand miles in Model Ys in the 60s & 70s. Not the fastest or most comfortable Ford, but pretty. I had a 32 with a coachbuilt touring body, bought in pieces and sold in in that state - another one of those 'shoulda kept it' cars.
