Hubcap

From archives:

This was lying in the street as I walked past a construction site.  I think it’s a hubcap.  What do you think?

    feel bad for the person who lost it…they be mad when they notice it. my husband could probably tell you the kind of car it came off of….but he’s not a night owl like me…he’s already sleeping!! :)

    A cap for the hub! I wonder if Henry Ford coined that word “hubcap”…. Your find has a very pleasing design to it.

    It’s definitely a hubcap. The Dumplin’ just said so! Probably from a small car. :)

    Post it on Craig’s list and watch somebody claim it!!

    I lost one here one month after I bought my car and had to pay considerable money to order another one which had to be shipped in.
    I now use those tacky plastic tie-downs and have them secured.

    Hi Christine: That would be interesting to know what kind of car it came from.

    Hi Pietro: Not happy at all, I’m sure. ;-(

    Hi Elizabeth: Great minds? ;-)

    Hi Sara: Good question about who coined the term. I like the design, too. I think that’s what captured my eye.

    Hi Sandra: The Dumplin’? LOL! I like that endearment. I’m glad it’s confirmed.

    LOL! Bonnie: Craigs List, huh? I’m glad you have your hubcaps secure nowadays. ;-)
