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,
think it might belong to a Peugeot car. Peugeot is a French ca
company that has been using the lion logo since 1858. The castle cres
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 desig
with a chrome or nickel finish and a dome shape. They also had th
lion logo and the coat of arms on the center, surrounded by the wor
“Peugeot” or the model number

??
