My uncle purchased new an early model Kaiser. When he totaled it, he gave the remains to my brother and I. The car is long gone but, at my mother's house, there has been an old hub cap that I thought belonged to the Kaiser. After her death, I kept it. A few months ago tried to find how much it might be worth - not too much. However, I now do not believe it to be a Kaiser hub cap but rather a Fraser cap (I cannot warranty that but it has some form of crest and seems similar to what I remember the Kaiser caps to be). That makes sense because my brother probably found it to replace one that was missing. It is not in new condition but is not too bad with a small dent or two.
When I die, the hub cap will be thrown out with the trash with most of my other "junk". I would like to place it with someone that needs it. Please do not request it for resale. All I ask is that you pay postage/shipping and it be for your personal use.
I had to submit my email address to get on this Forum. Please use it to contact me.
In closing, I apoligize for getting on your Owners Club Forum but this seemed the best place to fiind the hub cap a new home. I will request that my name be removed within a week if the administrators do not do so sooner

I don't recognize this one. It is not a Frazer hubcap. Anyone else recognize it and know what car it is for?

Isn't that a Desoto design?

With the Knight and "golden lion" I'd say Desoto 1949-51 or possibly Chrysler. Lincoln in 1956 used the Knight on the hood and trunk emblems, but these are not '56 Lincoln hubcaps.

I posted the picture on another site and here's what gordie had to say - "That emblem on the hub cap is for Lyon wheel covers. They made many generic wheel covers in the forties and fifties. Note the lion in the emblem. They were stainless and of good quality."
Makes sense. If someone owned a Frazer and was missing a cap, it would make a good sub.
The Desoto emblem actually had a face on it and viking cap, like this:

Wow, that is a really nice hub cap and it would look great on my Desoto Firedome! I would love to have it, especially if I could find 3 others. If not, it could have a place of honor in my shop next to my '70 Fury III hub cap. Yes, I admit I do have a soft spot for hub caps...
