Wheel hub markings?

Post by Craig Raynor » Sun Jan 26, 2020 7:05 am

I sandblasted a couple of hubs and found this mark on the inside of one. I asked a friend he has not seen it eather.Any thought on who or what company may have used this Mark?

While I don't know the mfg. hallmark on your outer hub plate, this older post shows some other hallmarks, most are found on front axles or other forged parts.

However, lots of other Ford stampings that were't done at the Ford factories, have various markings to identify the part supplier to Ford. Some suppliers were required to also stamp a Ford script on parts they supplied to Ford.

A whole lot of stamped parts including rims are from my home town.
They will have HAM which stands for Hamilton Ohio

As far as markings on Ford parts goes I noticed “Carnegie” on the spring leaves when I was cleaning them up. It was faint was it definitely there.

Thanks for the replies and the link to the old posts was interesting. I was at Bill Calimers shop yesterday and he was unsure who’s mark this is as well. Still somewhat new to the Modle T and always looking to learn anything about them.
