I bought these from an online auction thinking they were related to Indian Motorcycles. Experts say no. I also talked to Pontiac experts. They also say no. I've had lots of guesses, but I have yet to find out exactly what these are.
They're made of aluminum with a metal clip on the back. Thanks for your input. Hopefully, someone can tell me what these really are!

Well then I might as well give you my guess. It looks like the Indian that was on the baking soda boxes and cans.

the baking soda logo is a bit different, his nose is really flat

they seem like center caps to wheels to me, like the sort that would cover lug nuts and leave the rest of the rim exposed.

Edit: There, we can't both be wrong, :icon_thumright::thumbsup::laughing7:
You'll never believe it...... must have submitted within a couple of minutes of each other.

hubcaps from the wheels of a vintage "Lawnchief" lawnmower produced by the Savage Arms company. The Savage Arms Corporation is most well known for their production of firearms, specifically rifles...but they also had a thriving lawnmower business. The hub caps are made of aluminum and measure 6 3/8" in diameter.

The logo and design are an exact match. Thanks guys! Only thing is that mine are smaller. Maybe mine are from the front wheels and the others are from the rear?

They had several models, including reel mowers push and motorized (only 2 wheels on them). Good possibility that they had more than one size of wheel.
