I'm looking to buy one or more original 1912 only hubcaps in serviceable condition. I have nice reproductions, but prefer original even if not perfect. Canadian caps are superficially similar, but do not have the tall 'F' and sometimes have a little triangle below the 'Ford'. Note that there is no 'MADE IN USA'. My first time posting. I thing email would be best. Thanks. Brian

Thanks Mick and Joe. Probably do not have the time or patience or talent to repair damaged ones. For me, it is what makes owning a brass era T more like owning a Horseless Carriage, not just a model T. I always get carried away finding the exact correct parts. It is also the difference between a good car and a great car.

I agree with you Brian. Stay with it, you will find them. Even the correct common 1913 hubcaps are getting hard to find.
