Those are Dill valve covers. Dill is one of the several suppliers to Ford for valve covers. What makes these valve covers special is they screw onto the top of the valve stem in place of the little valve cap so they can be used with a modern rubber stem inner tube.

They are also brass. They would look really nice with the nickel plating removed and the stems polished.

Recently bought a nice set of Dill nickel-plated stem covers from Layden. The other neat thing about these Dill covers is once you have them threaded onto your tube stem and in position you tighten them down and they will lock into that position. They look great on one of my nickel era cars.
