13-17 Hubcaps
The difference is obvious. The one on the left is the 1913 style, while the left one is 14-17, maybe even later?

Re: 13-17 Hubcaps
Looks like Ford used a different die when the Ford logo was pressed into the earlier hubcaps. The older ones look more intricate.
Maybe he switched to another supplier who made the hubcaps for Model T’s.
I don’t know if Ford shops made the hubcaps in the brass era or not. That information might be found in Fords archives. I can remember when going to Chickasha years ago and people looking for those older hubcaps. And especially some that weren’t beat up or rounded on the corners.
