  • hubcap identification? 2 lions facing a crest

    From amazinglovemom@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 14 12:34:56 2019
    Hi there! Trying to see if someone can help me ID a hubcap brand (and hopefully a year range for the make and model).
    I've been searching all over and I'm stumped!
    (wish I could upload a pic, but...)

    the emblem is 2 lions, one on each side. both facing inward toward a castle crest. the castle crest has a sash inside of it diagonally (top left down to bottom right) with 2 shields on bottom left under the sash and 1 shield on top right above the sash.

    has to be British or french vintage car company....

    help? :)

    I suspect it is an aftermarket wheel cover. The one I posted is.

    Based on your description of the hubcap emblem, I
    think it might belong to a Peugeot car. Peugeot is a French car
    company that has been using the lion logo since 1858. The castle crest
    you mentioned is actually a coat of arms of the Franche-Comté region,
    where Peugeot originated.

    Peugeot hubcaps from the 1930s to the 1960s had a full-wheel design
    with a chrome or nickel finish and a dome shape. They also had the
    lion logo and the coat of arms on the center, surrounded by the word
    “Peugeot” or the model number.

    ???
