I have a center cap? It is 4 1/4 inches across, made of brass it is round and smooth. In the center it has a counter sunk 1 7/8 hex hex that is cast with the cap. There is a center tag in center that says Hudsin Motor Car co. Made in detroit usa. On the side it reads F5-R S-WIRE WHEEL CORP. OF A. BUFFALO N.Y. Below this it reads PATENTED 12-9-19 5-16-22 I was told it was held the wheel on when the wheels were wood spoke. I have both the left and the right. I have some pics and would be happy to email them to you, I cant get them to insert on here for some reason. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance.
