I have a unique aluminum hubcap for wooden wheel with an incorporated Zerk fitting. $25.0] shipped to you.

Interesting. This design has been used on boat trailers.
Generally not recommended on a passenger car wheel bearing.

Looks like a nice one. Similar hubcaps were made and sold for model Ts by several companies. Some are rare or unusual enough that finding a match could be difficult, This one looks like one of the more common ones, and having or finding a close match shouldn't be too tough.
Question. Does this one have the manufacturer's information stamped in the ring around the fitting? On the flat outer ring? I have seen several of the aluminum caps over the years that did have that. Also a few without it.
I still have a very nice NOS matched pair of nickel plated brass hubcaps similar to that.

These were made for model Ts and used to add fresh grease to the front bearings back in the days grease didn't last so long in use. They make a nice addition to model T speedsters.

I do not see any manufacturer name on this. I too thought it would be a good speedster accessory. Thanks guys!

If anyone wants it for $15.00 shipped it's yours.

Okay, I can't resist for that price name or no name. How do I pay?

Wayne, my barn find tourer backboard came with two cast aluminium hubcaps on the front. Neither has a grease fitting. Interestingly, they are two different caps, one much bulkier than the other.

I have several different types from different makers - I'll attempt to post a photo later.
