 Looking for wire wheel hub caps that say "Made in Canada".

As mentioned, by Ken, the '26-'27 Canada T with wire wheels used plain hub caps, without the USA made inscription.

Dan, In a pinch, a Canadian could use ones with Made In USA on them and use a drift punch or some other, to flatten the Made In USA.

Thanks to all who answered.
I was told by the guy I bought my Canadian built Touring from that they existed and he was unable to find any. I've been looking ever since than time.

Thanks to all the answers. I'll quit chasing my tail!

I stumbled across this link https://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/2 ... 1351042041

Just dug out all the spinning and stamping dies, thank you for all your interest they are going up for sale. I know this is not the place to sell them just letting the people who showed interest in these to act before they go on the market, so if anyone is interested before they get listed let me know, this would be a great product for someone who wants to make a difference on re popping the right item, here are some more pictures of the dies

Where did they go? More pictures for other caps.

Wonder what ever happened to the dies?
Is someone making hubcaps off of them?
Or has another item fallen off the face of the planet?

Well..... As I recall Bob told me that Birdhaven bought all his tooling. They may have been sold earlier but if not...

Believe all this stuff went to birdhaven. Bob only has old used parts very few new parts.
Just a 20 year old who listens to 40 year old music, works on 75 year old airplanes and drives 100 year old cars.
The past is only simple because hindsight is 20/20.

Didn't Fun Projects disappear in the same way. A haven is a place of safety. Perhaps these enterprises have really gone to Heaven, somewhere up in the ether with the Gods.
