Old Ford Hubcap - 6/20/2004 8:19:00 PM    BRichardson5   Posts: 434 Joined: 8/29/2003 From: Pacific Northwest Status: offline This is something you don't expect to find in a dump that ranges form 1900-1940. I found this little artifact about a foot down. I couldn't believe it when I saw that it read Ford- I've heard that this came from an early 1930's model car. The cap is in great condition- the chrome gives it a shine that looks like it never touched ground. Are these at all collectible, and have other car memorabilia been found in dumps? Thank god I dug this and not the car itself :) Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I've actually found all kinds of auto parts in many of my digs. My earliest ford 'hubcap' I found is one that screwed onto the end of a Model T axle, it's black with the Ford logo in script, and get this, it still had greece on the inside threds. I also have quite a collection of exterior trim from a 1951 Chevy Delux Convertible I found in the woods while looking for a dump to dig. I have door handles, light bezels etc., There's quite a market for old auto parts, as many people restoring them want the original equipment. Nice Find! _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to BRichardson5) Post #: 2
